    The Role

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

    • I dreaded going to work in the mornings especially the 6am shifts! There was no atmosphere in the office and everyone was always miserable to be at work

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was shouted at within my first 2 days of starting the job and was told it was not rocket science. I was made to feel very un appreicated and valued in the company

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager tried where possible to help the situation but found that the atmopshere within the office always bought down the situation

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There was never a point in the day that you wernt busy, I enjoy being busy but felt like I was a slave! I was starting at 6am and not finishing until sometimes 6pm. I was washing cars this early in the morning too and was expected to be able to juggle everything at the same time as well as answering phones while dealing face to face with a customer

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • If you call washing a car a trainee manager position then I was given alot of responsibility!

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
