Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were daily talks, discussions and Q&As with the panel members and small group workshops where we were faced with mini challenges and offered advice and support.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very clear and a great insight into different departments. Loved hearing from all the employees old and new about their personal experiences. In particular I was very intrigued by the work life balance insights we were given. As a mother of two young children this is very important to me.
