    About You

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I applied to the Tax division as only this was available at the time. However, the opportunity to join the Actuarial session was not permitted due to limited spaces. Also, there was a lack of Actuarial employees at the networking event. As I wish to become an Actuary, there was not a large level of guidance for this area.

    3/5

  • Fast and straight-forward reimbursement policy.

  • The networking events were very informal and this enabled a more flowing conversation.

    5/5

    5/5
