    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I Really enjoyed this job for a number of reasons. All the people in the company had a great work ethos and knew how to have fun whilst maintaining a fierce commitment to the task at hand. The varied nature of the role I was doing allowed me to travel around the country and promote the products in some of the best venues in the UK which was very exciting.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I always felt fairly valued by my colleagues because everyones successes are acknowledged and I knew if I worked hard this would be recognised. I always felt like if I had a difficulty there would be a number of people I could ask for guidance.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Once I had become familiar with my role and the job, I was given enough freedom to perform the job without feeling like I was under scrutiny. I felt like Orbitsound encouraged employees to take initiative and become responsible for their performance throughout my time there.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Initially this was a great opportunity for me to bind together my experience in sales and events and my personal interest in sound and audio. However, the longer I worked there the more insight I gained into a number of different business practices and techniques which have shaped my personal standards of performance in subsequent employment
