    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Travelport as a Management Reporting Intern. I enjoyed the charity project we had an opportunity to get involved with an run as a group on interns and also the appreciated the level of responsibility given to me from day one. I also felt highly valued and supported by my team and other colleagues.

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

    • My team and colleagues at Travelport were always very supportive and were always ready to help. My colleagues helped me with work related queries as well as University work. The level of responsibility and trust they held in me also made me feel highly valued. I always felt like another member of the team and not as an intern.

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

    • My manager was always ready to offer help and support and held frequent one to one meetings with me. They also offered valuable feedback frequently to ensure I was able to develop my skills. My mentor was also extremely supportive by helping me discover possible graduate career paths I could follow. My mentor was always prepared to help with University work and applications such as reviewing and offering feedback on my CV.

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

    • There were definitely busier times such as month end, quarter end and year end. Although these times were busy and sometimes challenging, it allowed me to develop and learn a number of new skills such as task prioritization. Although, I believe the work life balance at Travelport was good, and I rarely stayed late.
