The Role
It is definitely up there in the list of my best jobs ever.
I feel I was treated very well. They were very accommodating and nice
A whole lot of support. They were always ready to help out and if they were busy, they would tell you so in a nice way. Overall they were very supportive
I think it was a right balance. Not too busy and not bored either. There was always something to do and something to learn
A lot of desk jobs I would say. The joy was seeing that what I did was actually used. In essence, doing desk jobs that were value adding
I would say skills for life
The Company
The atmosphere was great and very open I would say
Very organised with all activities well planned out from the start
There was some training at the beginning of the placement. with more on the job training as the placement went by.
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I would say it is very appealing
The Culture
good scene
Not expensive
I believe it was great
Yes we had activities outside work including going treasure hunting
