    • The 9-5:30 day flew by as I constantly had the right number of tasks to set about doing each day. From time to time I would have to work a few extra hours but no hellish all nighters.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I have a job with them but I will not be taking it, on two grounds although I have had a valuable time, I felt that there wasnt enough likeminded indivduals in the company furthermore it was little things like being paid less by £80 because our contract finished on the 27th as opposed to the end of the month.

    5/5
