    The Role

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

    • Colleagues were extremely nice and very welcoming. At times it was almost like I was being treated like somebody on work experience, but this improved towards the end of the placement.

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

    • I was given very little help or time from management for the majority of my placement. My manager happened to be out of the office alot and when he was not there nobody else knew what to do with me.

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

    • At times I was busy and work flow was good. m PArticularly in the last 4 weeks. But this was too little too late for me. I had been sitting around bored stiff for over 6 weeks. Even when I requested work it never came about.
