  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I am relatively busy every day. I always have jobs to be filled, especially as I help various consultants in the office. I also now the skill set to do other stuff such as pay roll for current candidates and holding in house meetings with candidates to help them make improvements to their CV's and discuss future career plans. I also talk to clients about their current recruitment needs. Days at Randstad fly by!

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I am given a lot of responsibility on my placement. From getting candidates into free lance roles or to preparing candidates for permanent interviews. I am also able to speak to clients to receive job specifications. I also am responsible for making sure some current candidates get their weekly pay by getting their time sheets in on time!

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

I believe these skills and what I have learnt can help me in my final year at university and in most job opportunities that I will strive to achieve once I graduate!
