    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • No opportunity for this on the Discovery Day.

    3/5

  • 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?

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Again, the networking session was great for this, as well as the careers talk. Got a good view of this in a short time.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Pretty good, attracted me to BP and the oil sector in general.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Possibility to be reimbursed costs of travel, which was also organised if it was a difficult journey.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes - the round table networking session, as mentioned before. We also got talks from senior employees and a tour of the complex, so we got varied exposure to the employees.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Very good, plenty of opportunity to interact with the other people attending the discovery day as well as current employees.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, plenty of social activities, as well as sports on the BP complex at Sunbury.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Certainly, it gives a real feeling of whether or not you would enjoy a job at BP, and you also learn much more about each role than you would do via internet research. Also gives some useful tips for online applications.
