  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • I believe i worked in a very positive and hard working atmosphere for my 2 week insight. All workers were upbeat and happy to help rather than seem uninterested and if it was an extra task they didn't want to be involved with, and this was with every person i spoke to

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • During my 2 weeks i think i was able to understand what it would be like to have a full time job, waking up and making sure i'm on time, not slacking and making sure i do my best job and not the bare minimum. Due to this i feel more prepared to entering a full time work place and already have a good understanding of whats expected

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Working in a company is a very different culture to any other place i'd been, so this insight allowed me to see the differences and help teach me some company culture. After a few days i felt i was able to fit in with the culture and use this to help for my future placements or jobs.

    4/5
