The Role
It was quite interesting but at the same time I didn't learn anymore than I was taught from my degree.
All the people there were really nice, being valued I'm not to sure but I got along great with the colleagues and I'm still friends with some
I was given a great amount of guidance and support and I went in to the office once a week to be given a run down and to talk plans, it was really helpful
I was constantly busy, not in a rushed way but in a way that aloud me to constantly be doing productive work without falling behind.
To start with there wasnt much responsibility in my job role but as time progresses I started to trusted with a lot more meaningful and important job roles.
They will help me greatly in future encounters in business or if I'm to pursue any career down this same path
The Company
It was a standard office environment everybody was happy to be working but would rather be at home.
It was set up quite well as there was organised activities for me to do in accordance to my degree
They spent plenty of money on me ensuring I had the write equipment to progress through that company for the couple months I was there.
Flexi Time
National Travel
Above 25 days holiday
They are quite appealing, I've wanted to apply for a full time job here for a while but I'm going to finish my degree first.
The Culture
Yes we went out most weekends as a group from the office.
It was really cheap because close by they had housing for work placement to live in whilst they completed their work placement.
The nightlife was great it was just one town over and that's the place we liked to go most weekends.
There was plenty of opportunities always arising they had a board downstairs in the lobby where you could pick and choose out of hours activities to participate in.
