    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed working here so much - I didn't want to leave!

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

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

    • We had regular one to one catch ups for an hour every week, which meant that if I was confused or needed support on anything, I could ask then, instead of infront of the whole office!

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

    • Really busy during the day which meant that I didn't get bored or demotivated, but also not so much work that I couldn't cope which meant that I could complete work set by the University for my course.

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

    • At the start I needed help because I didn't 'know the ropes' but by the end I was abnle to run my own event by myself!

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

    • I learnt so much on my placement that will give me great help for my final year - I learnt confidence, telephone skills, time management and team work to say the least!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It was a great office to work in, fun but also quiet when we needed to work.

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

    • Really well - I had a mentor who was a member of the department but not in my close team, which meant that if I had work troubles or study issues I could talk to them. It was also great because I was able to work with other people on a placement too, which meant that i didn't feel so 'alone'.

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

    • I was able to undertake all the training courses offered by Plymouth University from computer training to presentation training and all of it was free - not only will it look great on my CV but it has given me real skills for life.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    National Travel

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • At the moment the University is going through a re-structure so I'm not too sure on the future. I have finish my placement but am currently doing temp work over the summer until I start University again which is great!

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I was able to work with other placement students and spent time with them on lunches, as well as other colleagues. We had a Christmas away day, birthday celebrations and a team-away day where we went bowling!

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • There are so many things to do in Plymouth from bowling, to using some of the lovely places to eat out - if you want to spend a lot you can, if you don't, you don;t have to!

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was good - I live about an hour away from Plymouth so I can't really comment too much.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • As it's a University tehre are loads of volunteering opportunies open to you, but also a football team open to staff and students.
