    The Role

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

    • The work was enjoyable, although occasionally a task may become a bit tedious but that's all part of the learning process.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • One of the best parts of this was the people. Supportive, friendly and as most of them are recent graduates they can really sympathize with your questions etc.

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

    • Any question was answered straight away and taken seriously. If the person you asked couldn't help you they would make sure you found some who could.

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

    • This is mainly down to clients often being haphazard at getting information to you meaning some days it isnt possible to do much whilst on others you will be very busy. Its the nature of the work though

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was gradually eased in and given more and more responsibilities as i became more comfortable with the work

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Picked up skills for working in an office environment and in a team etc.
