Work experience - student Review

It was an online programme where the students listened to various talks by numerous colleagues who currently work at the bank, in a range of different roles. At the end, we were given guidance about interview preparation and life beyond school.

We were taught a lot about the different jobs available at HSBC and what routes to take to get there.

It was quite boring sitting online in front of the screen, but that is expected in such difficulat circumstances.

It was well organised, especially with such a large group of kids on the call.

There was lots of emphasis on the culture at HSBC and we got a good insight into the ramge of jobs available.

It gave me insights into various pathways I would like to take.

No

As it was online, there was little small talk etc, but we did meet many people online.

Yes

Hopefully the issues I faced were unique to the online nature of the course, and so am confident the in-person alternative would be very helpful to other students.

The application process was really drawn out, and you're unlikely to hear back quickly - but that doesn't mean you won't have a spot!
