    The Role

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

    • I found it a useful experience and learnt many new skills which have definitely benefitted me since my placement. I probably found that the work became a little formulaic at points and would have been keen to be given the chance to develop my skills further.

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

    • I had a good relationship with my other colleagues and got to know everyone throughout the year.

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

    • I had a variety of managers with different approaches and this was a very useful learning experience for me. They offered support where necessary.

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

    • There was certainly a good amount of work to be getting on with.

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

    • I was gradually given more responsibility throughout the placement which was good.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Many of the soft skills you learn on the job cannot be learned during your degree so this was very useful and having to deal with different types of people was very beneficial

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Quite relaxed which I enjoyed although the general consensus was probably that I talked too much, but perhaps everyone else just didn't talk as much

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was good in a way as I was treated like any other full-time member of the team but having a clear bespoke training programme would probably have helped take the placement to greater heights.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was good training in terms of travel-related areas.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I look back on this placement fondly, but I decided that my future development would probably be best served elsewhere.

    2/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Could've been better but not bad.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Lived at home so happy days for me.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Questionable.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were a few events I went to which were quite enjoyable.
