    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Greatly enjoyed the culture and atmosphere within the company. The intern community was second to known and the majority of staff are extremely friendly.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Felt very valued by the lady I worked directly inline with. Lacked full involvement with the rest of the travel team, may have been as they were all based in the US.

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

    • Alot of support and guidance was given. The area of my placement that I could not fault!

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Varied- Some days really busy, however a large percentage of the time I was dragging out the minimal work I had. I did bring this up, immediately changed, but soon when the busy period was over, went back the the way it was previously.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Limited responsibility, was given limited responsibility to join meetings with suppliers on our main deals. Lacked depth in the type of work I was doing.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have developed many soft skills. However I still feel they are not at the level they could have been developed too.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Sat around 4 grads and 3 interns, really enjoyed this part of my placement.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Cracking placement- 63 interns, brilliant community within the office. Brilliant social life as well!

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Plenty of online training available if completed by yourself. In terms of face to face training and development, very little. Although I do not feel the work I was being given required high amounts of training.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Sports and Social Club

    Above 25 days holiday
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Would definitely come back to HP- As long as the opportunity allowed me to develop myself in areas further than this one has enabled me too. Speaking to other interns, I feel I may have got a little unlucky with the organisation of my role.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Cannot fault the social side of this placement!

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Compared to what I am used too at uni. House rental is a bargain!

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Average at best- Compared to uni anyway!

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, weekly football, Three Peaks, Half Marathons, Palace to Palace. Plenty.
