    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement, although hard and challenging at times, this is what being on placement is about, constant learning and constant experience gained. I got to do what I had wanted to do before I joined, which is sales, and as an intern this is not easy to come by, using my initiative this year was key to my success.

    • I felt valued by most people, those that want you to succeed I surrounded myself with. others can be difficult to gage but I didn't look to them to feel valued

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

    • Support was given if you asked for it. it depends on each managers approach was difference, just don't be afraid to ask for help!

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

    • most days, very busy, but that was my own doing. As I chosen to enter that world, it also meant I had to keep my operational core tasks, combined with sales, this would see me have full on days. but a learning opportunity to balance what is critical at the time and what isn't
