I'm wondering if HR wants me to name other firms that I have applied to like RPC that also focus on insurance and then identify a factor that distinguishes Kennedys from them, or...- User84

Do firms typically reimburse travel costs to open days?
Hi everyone. I'm just wondering if it's typical for firms to reimburse travel costs for open days? I attend university up in the north and, while I was checking out train tickets to London for the coming November, it costs over £200 for a return ticket. Now, I'm thinking this isn't feasible if I...- User84
