    The Role

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

    • I have really enjoyed my time during my initial fixed-term contract (which has lead to a permanent contract).

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

    • I have felt very valued in the time I have been here by my colleagues, and have been given a wide range of responsibility and exposure to high profile projects.

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

    • I have been given constant support and guidance when needed throughout, as well as on the job training.

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

    • My work is project based, so there are periods of time when work dries up at the end of the project, however when in the middle of a project I am kept busy. There is also plenty of work on offer from the other teams, providing the opportunity to gain experience in other areas of the business, so I have never been left with nothing to do for very long.

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

    • As much as I was willing to take on!

    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 believe the training and experience I have gained in the last 10 months will help me a huge amount in my future career.
