    The Role

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

    • I was fortunate enough to have 4 days worth of business trip from my usual working location in London( Bishopgate). One was at Cheadle and the other at Solihull. They were very useful in terms of my development and I gained a lot of experience as well as networking on a huge scale!

    The Company

    • Very friendly. People are caring and nice they consider your efforts and are very willing to help you if your are found in a sticky situation!

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

    • It was very organised again this depends on your manager my manager was very supportive if I found it to be too difficult she would guide me and help me out! Everything was very well organised to a high standard. I think some parts that weren't organised gave you the opportunity to organise it yourself!

    3/5
