What will I be doing on the day?

We’ll group you with other attendees (usually a maximum of ten students per group) to work on team challenges, which are a great opportunity to showcase teamwork, decision making and communication skills. You’ll also participate in skills sessions, (don’t worry they won’t be testing you on anything!) with recruiters, who’ll give you the inside scoop on applications, interviews, assessment centres and how to create your personal brand so you stand out from the crowd.

The dress code for our events is professional yet relaxed. The most important thing though is that you feel comfortable and confident, so please wear whatever allows you to get the most out of the day.

How and when will my travel expenses be reimbursed?

We'll cover your travel costs up to £50. If your trip costs more, just let the team know before you book, and we may be able to increase the contribution. To claim reimbursement, keep all of your receipts and simply fill out an online form after the event. We'll then send the money directly to your bank account. Please note, we recommend booking your tickets in advance, using public transport. Please note that taxi/Uber fares will not be reimbursed unless previously agreed upon.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

You will need to bring your travel receipts with you in order to claim back your expenses. It’s also a good idea to bring a notepad and pen.

Can I bring a friend?

We would love for you to recommend this event to a friend. However, they will have to go through the same process as you (register, interview and be invited). We will have to turn away anyone on the day who has not come through this process - whilst we would love to have everybody, we are restricted on the numbers that we can invite.
