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

    5/5

    • Most of the day we had something to do and managing our time and sharing the responsibilities and tasks with my colleague was an important part of the job - and certainly a useful skill.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • With every big issue my manager was always there to help and guide, more so in the beginning of the placement, but after a few months I would say that me and my colleague we were experienced enough to deal with a lot of issues ourselves alone.

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

    • Very useful for learning a certain part of Illustrator and Photoshop but I would add to that the process of getting acquainted whit a professional environment and learning how to act accordingly - as skill useful after uni just as well.

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

    • For my job role, the training has been an ongoing process. But I did get an introductory training session when I started, presenting all the major points that I should be aware of.

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

    • Considering the wage, I would say it was on the limit. Just enough for a weekly socializing sesh.

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

    • It was OK.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • London is quite close, and Reading but other than that Maidenhead alone I would say is pretty small with not so many opportunities.
