Overall Rated 7.7
★★★★★★★★☆☆
The Role
- Role Description
My job roles consisted of
stocking shelves
making the displays
colour coordinating stock
being on the tills
sweeping the floor
I did two makeovers on customers.- 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
-
Very much like my first internship I learnt a few extra things and Surprisingly got to handle more with the beauty and customers then I did at boots the internship was also mentioned by my mentor.
- 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
-
I'm still really close to some of them now they treat me like an adult not like a student which made my time being apart of the company more pleasant for an intern they were very nice
- 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
-
supervisors were great and I had a few as an Intern just keeping an eye out in-case I needed an hand.
- 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
-
I wasn't bored nor too busy I enjoyed learning new things and working in the shop.
- 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
-
Still not much but alot then over internships
- 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
-
Something for life most of it comes in handy for a student how to cut back on money with tips and even the skills for work is something you use in every day life
The Organisation
- 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
-
this internship wasn't dull but wasn't a joke either I felt mature and they treat me mature although we did have a laugh with customers
- 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
-
Very well seeing it was sorted very last minute I thought I'd just be bored
- 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
-
Wasn't loads but i had alot of training
- 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
-
- Staff Sales/Staff Shop
- 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
-
I'd defiantly think about it, you learn so much without even realising its a superb placement/internship for students.
Other Information
- 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
-
We got on really well like I said I'm still close friends with two of them and being one of their bridesmaids next month, their really nice and you have friends for life.
- 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
-
I wouldn't say I noticed any different you get student discount some places.
- 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
-
It was fun met a few celebrities on our nights out which was funny
- 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
-
As an intern I didnt think I'd et much but i was wrong i got more opportunities then I did at boots.
- 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 your doing something like fashion or art I'd defiantly recommend you apply for an internship here i had a great laugh learned things for my course more color schemes what goes where what suits so it defiantly helps with your course. not much more I can say really it was a great place for an internship.
