Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Got the opportunity to hear from a panel of employees across different service lines to learn more about their role in the company. Worked as a group on a case study as part of a mock assessment centre working on an aspect of a business plan. Got the opportunity to participate in skills sessions to learn about the ways we can stand out as candidates for graduate and summer internships.
