9. Would you recommend BT Group to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I recommend BT because their are so many opportunities and it allows you to get paid to learn and get a degree at Uni instead of paying for it yourself which is a huge opportunity.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT Group?

To make the most of your opportunities and think about how much of a good option this is for you compared to Uni also to not panic in the assessment centre days and just be yourself that's what they like to see. Also to think about your application and why you want to join because BT is a great place to work out and taking it seriously is the best thing you can.
