    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • A new marketing manager was hired this year, which has made the role much easier to assimilate into and understand. Especially when working in the technology industry where our products can be very complicated and difficult to understand. I have also been able to meet many customers and events, production sites, tradeshows.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have become much more organised, attentative and efficient in my work during my placement. This will be highly beneficial for when I return to university as the workload will be substancially more than my first two years! My experience at HP will be especially helpful in my future career as I have experienced the marketing role I wish to succeed in!
