I don't know how to rank this question because I would not say that I was bored, ever. It was very busy sometimes, sometimes overwhelmingly busy, but other times it was just perfect. Either way, I enjoyed everyday.

I learned so many different things, but the most valuable thign I learned was how to serve customers properly. And by properly, I mean friendly, calm, clear, and helpful. I learned how to communicate well with any type of person, and communicating well with people is an essential skill for life.

The Organisation

Other Information

★★★★★★★★★☆

Rated 9/10

I went out plenty of times with my colleagues after work or on the weekends to dinners and fun places.

13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

Well I am probably in a different category than the rest of people because I was living with my Aunt so I didnt have to pay for living, however, Surrey and London are both pretty expensive places.

14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

★★★★★★★★★☆

Rated 9/10

Surrey itself did not have that much night life, but it took 30 minutes train to get to London. In London, there is no better nightlife than anywhere else I've ever been.

15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

I did not really look for that many activities outside of work because I was travelling or writing or just enjoying the time off work. But, I can imagine that there are many activities a person could find easily.

In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

If you want to be part of a big company and feel like you are a huge contribution to a company's success, if you want to learn how to communicate better and learn how to manage a business, and if you would liek to learn some life lessons and some great morals... Enterprise is the Company for you.
