    The Role

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

    • This has been an invaluable experience and one that will definitely help me as my professional career progresses.

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

    • I feel that I was member of the team like any other full-time member of staff.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • This is where I would underline the room for improvement. I got on well with my team, however due to the very demanding nature of their work, they weren't often available for catch ups or brief meetings to guide/support me.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • At the beginning I had some slow days, but as the weeks progressed I had a perfect balance. Some days I had too much work and would have to stay quite late.

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

    • I had some really interesting assignments, including responsibility over thousands of pounds worth of collateral.

    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 I've developed a lot of transferable skills that I will be able to use and adapt during my final year at university. My time management, organisational and communication skills have all developed greatly.

    5/5

    • Great atmosphere with a variety of different characters

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

    • Could have been better - reviews and objectives were late and meant it was hard for me to benchmark my progress

    2/5

    • HR prepared an excellent interns learning programme that allowed me to learn about the different aspects of the business
