    The Role

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

    • Loved working with DHL and the team at Long Eaton. I was thrown into the deep end but that's the best way to learn. Great experience out of university to get a better understanding around the different roles around logistics and supply chain.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

    • I was given a lot of support for [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] who was our Graduate Talent Coordinator. She worked extremely hard to help me have us all have a good placement experience and a successful year.

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

    • I was given a fair bit of responsibility throughout the placement year. And its easy to sit and not do anything but I wanted to push myself to learn more and gain more experience so I questioned and queried most responsibilities as it helped me learn.

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

    • I think it will help me and anyone who does a placement year really develop as a person. It allowed me to gain new skills around systems used and also taught me life lessons that can never be forgotten.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • People generally get involved with light humour throughout the day and it sometimes really helps when you have so much things on your plate.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I think the whole programme could have been organised better whereby we found out where we were placed quite late and also my site didn't know the difference between a graduate and a placement student.
