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

    • Extremely busy - especially when I started as I had to cover for another girl for 2 weeks after I'd been there about 3 weeks. I had two departments to look after but not the new placement only has one to look after so they should be able to learn more and not be as stretched with time.

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

    • Monthly intern meetings/catch ups were good, however no formal training. Careers staff always available if needed, which was great support to have.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was given responsibility from day one which was a challenge at first but great in the long run. They valued my opinions and I produced a report for University based on ASOS Sizing and my ideas were took on board and used throughout the team.

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

    • London prices. I'm at a London university so i'm used to it. It was great to earn a wage that I could spend in London and treat myself. Could have been more though, but it always could be more I suppose!
