    The Role

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

    • Still doing a placement here, such a great atmosphere to work in, how we can get stressful at times as it is target driven. But there’s so many incentives that make you feel valued as a team member.

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

    • My colleagues including managers here are honestly the sweetest and funniest people and i’m actually really upset that because of lockdown i’m working from home and don’t get to see them. Everyone here is so welcoming and makes you feel at home

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

    • The training is very detailed and is carried out in a manner that anyone can understand and if there’s any further queries managers are always there to answer any questions. Even when working from home they all respond within seconds to any query or any need for support!

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

    • It’s a very fast paced workplace. However they do give you three breaks a day to compensate for it. Which gives you sufficient time to recollect yourself. with the support from the managers most of the time it doesn’t even feel like work because of the great environment they’ve created.

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

    • As a business development specialist you’re set out you’re responsibilities and everyone else also has those same responsibilities so it’s evened out.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • So many transferable skills for my future career in HR and has taught me in general how to be more confident and to believe in my own abilities

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I have nothing to say as it just all works seamlessly. Not a single issue.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • You receive in-depth training. If you ever need more they will help you as much as they can. If you’re falling behind at any point they immediately give you call coaching.
