Hello everyone,

If an application for an insight event/open day was successful last year, can you reuse the same application ( just change anything outdated), or is it best to write up a new application?

I'd always recommend going beyond updating factual information. It's better to update I based on what you have learnt or gained since your previous application.

Also be mindful of you attended an open day/insight programme one year, a firm might not want to re-invite you for a following year as you will have already learnt a lot from the previous attendance. Many firms will not see the value in inviting someone again to the same event/programme.
