    The Role

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

    • At not one point was I made to feel like I was unvaluable or by-passed.

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

    • Some tasks were challenging but the more questions I asked the clearer the jobs became.

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

    • Varied. The first week wasn't busy, my last 2 days I had several tasks to do at once.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Basic research, however I have no experience in working with property so this suited my level.

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

    • They will all undoubtedly help my masters when I come to study a property-related course!

    5/5

    The Company

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Extremely well organised, although a few more planned group intern activities could have been useful in getting to know eachother

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They gave me varied tasks and gave me as much information as I needed - they spent time and effort in helping me to advance with work and allowed me several times to work alongside them.

    4/5

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I got on well with a number of other inters, wish there had been a few more events planned but through our own organisation we had a fair few good events.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Living in Elephant and Castle and socialising in the centre didn't make the cheapest month.

    2/5
