Recently, I got an invitation to a career talk at a well-known insurance firm in the country. That came as a surprise since I had only applied for a job with the firm. It came to my mind that the firm was so helpful in shaping the careers of its employees by organizing such invaluable sessions.

This, in fact, is the right time to get surplus information about the company. On top of that, it’s expected that the host will definitely highlight what you ought to know about the organization.
