    The Role

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

    • I had an amazing time in the HR Sourcing department. I was grateful enough to have a lovely team who made me feel comfortable for the beginning. I had the opportunity to shadow other departments freely and was also around a lot of other interns.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was given responsibility from an early stage as my line manager was prepared with all the equipment that I needed before I arrived. Members of the team took their time and taught me the steps of the process and allowed me to independently partake in tasks. There was always someone available to assist me if I ever needed help.

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

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They allowed you to use the managed learning service provider where you could develop any skills. My line manager was very persistent in the idea of me always taking an hour out a day to develop on myself.
