It was an insightful week in which I gained knowledge around the company and the market itself whilst also being given the opportunity to self reflect and identify my own strengths and weaknesses. It also provided many opportunities such as networking and progression within the company.
I learnt analysis skills such as SWOT as well as developing my personal confidence skills. Additionally I developed my ability to network alongside my skills in completing an interview.
I couldn’t have enjoyed it any more
It was very well organised and stuck to a very strict itinerary
I was given a thorough insight in to the company policies and met several employees who explained how they were treated and what their day to day jobs entailed
I had no idea about my future before the experience but I’m now certain that I want to work for BDO itself
No, but I had no costs as the experience was virtual and all resources required were provided
Throughout the week there were several opportunities to network with fellow candidates as well as employees from the business
Yes
It is an inclusive firm that prioritises the needs of its employees and focuses on said employees being themselves. Additionally, BDO provided an organised week which gave me a well rounded and enjoyable experience
To be confident in yourself from the off and just be yourself. They are huge advocates for individuality and make sure that your unique features shine through
