Because of the amount of oppurtunitys i recieved from HTI i feel this was the @Best Job Ever'.

2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Your terminology is bang on. It felt exactly like a family and no-one saw me treated me as a placement student but one of the team!

3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

I was given support throughtout my entire experience at HTI. Whether it was just a general chat with the cleaning staff to Executive meeting with the CEO of HTI discussing the projects and timelines.

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 5/10

I dont know where to put the star on this because i had a numerous amount of work on a daily basis. But i didnt find it boring at all - infact it was the total opposite!

5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Because i was the only person doing the design and marketing work for the company, i had a huge amount of responsibility during my placement. This ranged from 'holding the fort' until HTI found their new Marketing Manager to appointing my replacement...

6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Definately 'Skills For Life'. Right now im completeing my final year at University and i am using all the skills i learnt and developed into everyday projects. I am certain i will not struggle getting into a job after my degree and settling in instantly...

The Organisation

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

There is always a 'bubbly' atmosphere at HTI. This due to the fanily like environment HTI has crerated.

8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

It was very orgainsed from start to finish.

9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

This was the best bit. HTI believes in developing people for the outside world and where better to start than developing your internal staff! They asked me if there were any areas in which i felt weak in - HTI then provided training and devlopment sessions for all items i outlined.

10. What were the perks on your work placement?
★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

  • Flexi Time
  • National Travel
  • Company Parties/Events
  • Working from home
11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
★★★★★★★★★

Rated 9/10

I always get asked this question! my colleuges say you had the best placement ever - so therfore you must have a job secured!

The truth is i will definatelt send my CV to HTI for a job - and if they have a vacancy available, the chance of getting a job are very strong

Other Information

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

N/A. I was the only placement student at HTI...

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

Rated 9/10

It was virtually the same as everywhere else. Felt like home really!

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

Rated 9/10

I didnt really go out much because i was commuting to coventry from Birmingham. A very tiring journey! But the times i did go out - they were amazing!

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

Rated 9/10

Yes, there were always oppurtunitys to socalise outside work. Just depends on the individual...

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?

HTI is an amzing place to work and they always provide oppurtunitys for you to excel and Shine! Would definatley do it again and again!
