    The Role

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

    • I enjoy most of the time during my placement. The colleagues I've worked with always make the work more enjoyable.

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

    • I definitely felt valued during my work placement. For example, when I do a great job on a new report I get recognition from my line manager and other colleagues.

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

    • Since the start of my placement, I was given full support and guidance on my work. If I ever felt I was struggling I could always ask for help.

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

    • Some weeks I will be quite busy as certain important reports are due in but some other time I will have time to complete other projects.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given quite a bit of responsibility especially on producing the reports. If there was something questionable about a report it was my responsibility to research and explain why there was something wrong in that report.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Before my placement, I had no experience in SAS coding and basic experience with excel. Since my placement my skills such as SAS coding and excel have developed and improved, in which these skills will help you become more employable.

    4/5

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived in Wolverhampton. Cost of living is quite reasonable. As for socialising, there is things to do in which I got involved with Pro Wrestling Training called Fight Club: Pro. It was really good and training with other wrestlers and potential wrestlers was fun.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There are quite a few opportunities to take part in. I got involved with Pro Wrestling Training called Fight Club: Pro. It was really good and training with other wrestlers and potential wrestlers was fun.
