    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Given a lot of responsibility! There is always something to do. From the weekly reports to the more ad-hoc requests. As the global recruitment data analyst, stakeholders from all across the business will reach out with tasks and requests. In the role, you are able to work closely with other departments - particularly Diversity and Inclusion, Marketing, Recruitment + University Partnerships and Sales.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • A full 4 week training period compromised of Professional Skills, Excel, SQL and Power BI. In addition, a three day handover with the current placement student. There was also regular Learning & Development training sessions scheduled which was an opportunity to also meet employees across the business. At the start of the placement, a weekly catch-up was scheduled in with my line manager to go over any projects, questions or concerns.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • Sociable and friendly. Though sometimes it's easy to feel intimidated being a young employee with a lack of experience in the world of work. This was made harder by half of the placement being remote.

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • Really enjoyed learning more about the business and tech industries. I feel as though I gained a large understanding of the business. The group of placement students were all really nice and we were able to interact a lot. Due to there being a high level of responsibilities, at times I struggled to manage my time to meet deadlines.
