Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A typical day of the online placement involved several talks from people who worked in conservation. We also were placed in break out rooms where we could vocalise our opinion.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I originally had no idea what jobs were available in conservation. Now I know there are multiple jobs, not just as a teacher but as a media engagement person or even collecting data for conservation projects.

Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BCP Council
One speaker told me that females were less likely to apply for roles if they don’t exactly fit the criteria. So my advice to anyone applying is go for it! You never know if you don’t try. Also Brian the head said he gives feed back for rejected applications which is very useful to see where you went wrong.
