Overview of the Experience

Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:

4/5

I learnt about the BDO core values and what different sectors were offered if we were to work at BDO in the future. I also had the opportunity to chat to staff members.

To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?

3/5

I wish the work experience would have been in real life. Despite this I had a lot of fun

How well organised was your work experience?

4/5

the work experience was very organized. I had different activities each day and was given a timetable and sent all the links. However, there were sometimes some technical issues.

How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?

4/5

It helped me narrow down what I do not want to do in the future definitely but I am still not entirely sure what I would like to pursue in the future. The staff did give very helpful advice

Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?

1/5

I was not paid but I did get some merchandise

Skills Development

What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?

4/5

I improved my communication and team work skills. I also learn a lot more about how to use LinkedIn, what to say in an interview as well as CV

Company Culture

How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?

5/5

I think this is BDO's most strongest point as we got to chat with several staff members in small groups in which they answered openly and they had a few sessions on BDO's values and such.
