    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • This is my second placement and I have to say this is the best I have ever had! I am highly interested in the beauty industry and this placement offered me a great chance to explore more. I have been given responsibilities and learned quite a lot from the day-to-day tasks as well as the cooperation with my teammates.

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

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager is always here to help. Our working area is quite closed so I can approach him easily. Even if I did something wrong he would tell me how to improve/resolve issues in patience. We have a weekly one-to-one session. I am able to ask him any questions during this time.
