About You
I came home so excited, I've had some really unuseful careers interveiws before so didn't have high expectations for this but it was really useful
Staff were all very friendly and more than happy to answer questions. There was a free and lunch and refreshments and a free pen bag and hoodie.
Didn't really need guidence or support during the day but there was a game in the afternoon which was well explained
I found out about the different jobs and career paths available in a really accessible way. There was also a presentation on tips for applying for internships
The Company
It was a busy day but didn't feel rushed. We had a tour of the facilities, time to chat to people on the graduate scheme and other people on the insight days
Very relaxed and friendly
We were taught about what they do in the labs and gave tips for internships
A presenatoion was given by two different people about their experiences in the company which was really useful
Ovbiously they want to leave us with a good impression but I did feel like it would be a nice place to work, like they cared about individuals
I will definietly be applying for a summer internship next year and hopefully that will be the start of my career as a petrophysicist
Everything Else
I booked my train tickets through their travel company and it was paid by them from the start
Yes, people came at lunch time and sat at our tables
It was a very social day, I spoke to lots of people
I think football was mentioned but this wasn't really emphazised
definitely worth it, really interesting and a quick way to see if it is for you are not
