    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I came into this role not really knowing what to expect. I have been astounded by the amount of real responsibility given to us as interns. The work is interesting, challenging and beneficial to career development. Getting up for work in the morning is not a chore as each day brings with is new and exciting opportunities.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • As an intern, it's easy to feel like your opinions don't matter. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Your opinions are considered extremely valuable and carry a lot of weight in the office. This allows you to feel confident in the office and progress without feeling anxious. Everyone is also really nice and the social scene is quality.

  • I couldn't have asked for a nicer manager. There is never a stupid question and the patience they showed was beyond belief. They credit your work to their supervisors which makes you feel really valued as an employee.
