    The Role

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

    • Overall really good experience, it was my first office job and it was a good introduction. There were 7 other interns at the office so it wasn't intimidating.Everyone was very welcoming, I learnt a lot in that job and believe it is a great asset my CV now.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone was very welcoming and my us feel comfortable. A lot said they knew what it was like to be new, and tried to make us feel at home.

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

    • As much support as you need. I had 2 meetings with my performance manager, and a buddy, who was a graduate. Support was there if you needed it.

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

    • really varied throughout the placement. Sometimes there really wasn't much to do, and I spent some days doing other things. On some bigger jobs that were quite time pressured I didn't want to ask for too much to do, as I felt I was only slowing down the team more than anything else, but on smaller jobs it was really easy to ask for more things to do, and the people in charge were always happy to assist.

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

    • Not much but that is to be expected from a summer internship with no previous experience of audit.

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

    • looks really good on my CV, developed a lot of skills that I can now apply to my degree, especially in group work and attention to detail.

    5/5
