    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed experiencing the work environment. There was a lot to learn and take in but I was given a lot of support.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Fitted in well to the team, I was included in tasks with the other team members, so I felt like a team member rather than just an intern.

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

    • My manager was very encouraging for me to experience as much of the company as possible. Encouraged me to work shadow in different areas, and was more than willing to help if I didn't understand something.

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

    • There were times when I didn't have much to do but this was due to the reliance on other people, e.g. waiting on replies. When this was the case I filled my time with training.

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

    • I had my own tasks and joint team projects which meant I had the opportunity to work as a team and also take hold of projects myself.

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

    • In terms of working in an office environment, this is something I can take whereever I go. Also, work I have carried out will help on my return to university where I am due to begin a module in international banking.
