The Role
Had a lot of stimulating tasks to complete and interacted with a lot of clients and key people in the industry.
Made to feel very welcome and got along with all the employees, not just in the department but in many other departments.
Management were always keen to listen to my views and were very helpful when I needd advice on certain issues.
I was kept busy on most occasions and when the workload wasnt very intense the management always provided me with some thing to do.
I was thrown in the deep end since day one and was pleases that the management trusted me even thouhg I was an intern.
I would like to pursue a career inmarketing and this has definetly helped me get a step ahead, I have a much better CV now!
The Company
Awlays something going on, and plenty of social societies to join.
I knew what I was going to be doing since day one which made it seem very organised.
A lot of money was invested in me, they even paid for me to go on training seminars.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Above 25 days holiday
They said I have a very good chance of getting a job if i apply again.
The Culture
They were always going out to the bars, and I was more than welcome to join them.
The north west isnt the most expensive of places!
Manchester is only up the road which has a good night life!
Not many Im afraid, but maybe if you investigate further there might be?
