    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed my internship an incredible amount. I looked forward to getting into work and learning new things on a daily. I highly recommend this internship programme.

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

    • I felt valued and comfortable very quickly within the team. After just a couple of days it felt like I'd been there a much longer time and had known my colleagues a while.

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

    • I was given continuous support by my supervisors and guidance was offered to me whenever I felt I needed it.

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

    • I had been set an on going task to do alongside any of the work I was set for that day or week. So on a daily basis I always had something to do and if I'd completed my work, I'd watch over my colleagues to get an idea of other areas of the role.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a range of responsibilities from making payments and authorising cheques to being trusted to do things such as the key log or answering the phone and door to customers.

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

    • I was lucky enough to be offered a full time job two months into my internship so all the skills I developed and training I was given contributed largely to what I am doing now. Even if you don't continue into a career the people skills that you learn are ones that will definitely assist you in whatever career you go into.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in my office is extremely sociable and friendly. There was never a dull day.

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

    • The overall internship was set up extremely well. There were training days which were very well organised and taught us a lot but also let us be social with one another. Throughout the course of the internship I had a training guide and glossary of terms to work by produced by head office which was extremely helpful.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company invested a lot of time and effort into training me and this shows in the development that I have made over the last couple of months. Their aim is to push you to do aswell as you can but never push you to a point where you feel uncomfortable.

    4/5
