    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • It was quite a thorough overview of the different sections which share a site. The ability to talk to graduates provided me with a great understanding of the different roles and programmes available to Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs who have come straight from university.

  • Everyone was very friendly and welcoming during the visit, it was clear that the presentations were not just read line for line from paper but instead it adapted to questions and prompted information from employee`s experiences. There was always refreshments available and lunch was given which was a chance to meet others attending the visit also to speak one on one with the graduates.

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • I think this helped me very much in understanding a job within the BP. A part of the day was specifically given to presentations from graduates from different backgrounds and how they have integrated within the company. I learned a lot from this as I was unsure how my degree would fit in and the opportunity for advancement was also explained properly.
