About You
It was so informative and met some really interesting enthusiastic people.
Each representative I spoke to was so enthusiastic and friendly, genuinely interested in you and what you have to say, and open to any and all questions.
Guidance in the types of questions you could ask, what to expect from the programme etc.
Networking experience was invaluable as was the opportunity to present to Barclays representatives and hear their feedback.
The Company
Each day was completely full. You were exposed to Barclays representatives across all sectors and from senior to junior positions.
Friendly, welcoming, inclusive.
We had the opportunity to present to Barclays representatives and hear their feedback on our performances.
There were so many opportunities to network and find out first hand what it is like to work at Barclays, and in each of the areas of the bank.
Each representative was welcoming and friendly, and seemed genuinely interested in your interest in banking, willing to answer all your questions fully.
By being able to experience first hand different areas of the bank through work shadowing I was able to really get an appreciation for the day to day activities of employees across the bank. You had so many opportunities to ask all the questions you might have about the industry.
Everything Else
Happy that all travel expenses were reimbursed.
Yes, amble opportunity! However, I would have liked the networking session in the evening to be a little longer.
I would have liked the networking event in the evening to be a little longer.
Not really.
