    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The PageGroup Internship Programme is a brilliant opportunity where you are introduced to all aspects of the job of a recruitment consultant and are never just treated like an 'intern'.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was always included in work projects, given tasks to work through independently and was always invited to social events!

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • They were always approachable and friendly. They welcomed any feedback for them too as they wanted to make the internship the best possible experience for the intern and leave a lasting impression about the company.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It is up to the individual how busy they are. You are directly and given work to do initially and then workload is largely up to you!

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility towards the last weeks of the programme once I had learnt the ropes a little. I was interviewing candidates and attending client meetings!

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The internship showed me so many different aspects of the types of career and industries I may choose to pursue in the future. The experience has been absolutely invaluable to me and my future and I would recommend the programme to all students! Plus, it is open to both 1st and 2nd year students!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Everyone would smile and have a laugh with you whilst working very hard and efficiently.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well - but, you have to have a strong work ethic and be motivated and interested to get the most out of the programme!

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They give you a lot of time and attention and have a training scheme in place with great trainers. The interns receive as much training as those being enrolled on the graduate scheme!

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I was put forward for a role within the company! Opportunities to be enrolled on the graduate scheme following graduation are very very high!

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Interaction socially between colleagues is a great aspect of the internship - there is no pressure to take part or not take part but the offers are always there.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • In London, everything is expensive but the area that I worked in was my choice so mustn't be seen as a negative for the company.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London nightlife is great, let's be fair.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Lots of opportunities for socialising/going for lunch or drinks!

    5/5
