When Pali was 5 years old he had a dream of being a football player like most boys that age. Almost two decades later and one year after he joined BT, Pali shares his insights of being a graduate at BT.
When I was 5 years old, I wanted to be a professional footballer (like most 5 years olds). I thought I could be the next Thierry Henry.
I studied mechanical engineering (BEng) at the University of Birmingham.
I came across the BT graduate programme in my final year at university whilst looking for graduate roles. I was looking online and found a technical role which interested me.
The reason I applied for this graduate programme was the opportunity which I could see within the scheme, the freedom to rotate roles in the two year programme really stood out for me. I also liked the development pathway that BT provided to its graduates.
I found the recruitment process was simple to follow and was kept updated with my application. I was told I had secured a role on the graduate programme within a couple days of attending the assessment centre.
I find that the ability to rotate between such a variety of different roles is the most unique thing about BT’s graduate scheme. You can go from working in finance to doing a sales role or from a technical role to project management. It really gives you the opportunity to develop a lot of skills whilst on this graduate programme.
My favourite thing about the BT graduate scheme would be the people. Everyone is really friendly at BT and they are all willing to help graduates on their journey.
