Young-professionals Reviews

misadvertising and manipulation of young people

School recommended the event as would be good for career path law and suggested should sign up for the event despite being across the country spent over 150 on travel A general notice was provided that cancellations must give over a week of notice and failing to do so would result in being blacklisted by the company Event was suggested as being general for law providing networking workshops and speeches The agenda was only released the day before the event with the events being almost entirely about or relating to solicitor apprenticeships The talks primarily focused on these and the representatives of the firms were early careers advisors and so could only discuss apprenticeships and nothing wider the whole event seemed catered to trying to convince people not to go to university

Waste of time AVOID

Spent 20 travelling on the train to this event for mismanaged chaos Hundreds of people crammed into 8 small rooms in the Lowry hotel Manchester for the majority of businesses to be minimalistic and boring More time was spent talking about setting up young professionals than the companies themselves The guest speakers and panel experts seemed clueless and quite frankly pathetic We were given barely any time to network with the companies not that they were particularly useful and having to applaud absolutely everyone bearing in mind people were simply introducing their names and company Confusing I wasn t the only person who felt like this either its a real shame because the idea of getting young people into work is great Poorly executed event
