    The Role

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

    • I learnt more in my year at ASOS being a BA and MA than I have in my four years at university!

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

    • It is fantastic that you are not treated as placement student and are actually treated as part of the team. You feel valued and everyone has a fantastic outgoing and friendly attitude.

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

    • No one is every too busy to help you and listen to your worries and questions. You are never made to feel stupid.

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

    • I was always rushed off my feet and constantlly had work to do. However, this is the way i liked to work as i could just get on with my workload and manage my own time.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given 2 of my own departments to be the BA and MA on and i relished this responsibility. I looked after mens branded sunglasses and All branded watches covering mens, womens and unisex products day to day. I was also brought along to buying appointments.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
