About You
On the journey to BP I was extremely nervous. When I got there, the staff were very welcoming which helped ease the stress. Then, once the programme started, I was relaxed and really couldn't help but enjoy myself.
No matter who you spoke with, everyone without exception, was warm, friendly and welcoming. There's no 'them and us' attitude between managers and staff which I've had bad experiences of in the past.
The day was well planned and had just the right amount of attendees so that we could all benefit from the day's events without having to jostle for a place to see/hear what was being shown.
As a first year petroleum engineering Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ, I appreciated that everything I had learned so far was relevant to what was being talked about or demonstrated so the day really bolstered my hunger to learn more about this industry.
The Company
The staff who organised and ran this event have obviously put so much work into making the day such a fantastic day. At no time was it boring or lacklustre.
BP was like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory! Everyone is so happy and welcoming. What a place!
So cram in so much in one day was unreal. It's only two days since the event, but I'm still buzzing!
I applied for this event as it was offering an insight into the particular area of expertise that I would like to develop my skills, so what was on offer gave me a great insight into the role within the company.
Once again, a great insight.
Everything Else
To benefit from such a wonderful experience without having to pay out for travel (they even arrange the train tickets!) - how much better could it be!
From senior managers to newly graduated recruits, they were all there to chat with.
We were able to lunch with BP staff who were very affable and charming.
Not so much emphasis on this but to be fair we would probably have to spend another day there to cover that and what was covered.
Without a doubt! In fact, I would recommend it to everyone interested in this industry.
