    The Role

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

    • I have enjoyed being able to see what it is like to work in a FMCG, i believe the level of exposure which you get really stands the placement aside from other placements. I have enjoyed the fact i haev been part of a small team, and able to see how my work has been used in the bigger picture

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

    • I am very fortunate to be in a small immediate team of two in which we get on really well, and my opinion is always highly regarded. In terms of the broader team i feel comfortable reaching out to them for advise or support allowing me to get a greater understanding of work and learn from the experiences of others

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

    • Regarding day to day activities, my manager was always willing to give feedback and advice as well as feeling comfortable with my decisions. when i felt i needed guidance it was there and the support with all areas of work and life were there including CV support as well as day to day work

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

    • it varied week on week, as depends on the status of a project as quite often i would be waiting for approvals or signatures for activity to go live which can take time. However, there was never a time when i was bored as there was always something i could be getting on with

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Early on in my placement my manager went on a long period of AL which allowed me to demonstrate my capabilities. throughout my time the projects which i worked on were my sole responsibility using my manager as more of a support tool rather than the other way round.

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