    The Role

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

    • A great, friendly company to work for. Given responsibility from the start.

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

    • Especially when working in smaller teams you are needed and the work you are given is vital. Less so in a larger group though, where more senior staff are given the jobs.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Helped through the entire process, and everyone in the office is willing to help.

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

    • Some days there would be little to do, and other days strict deadlines would cause stress.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • i was lucky in that I worked within a very small team (2) for a lot of the process, so I was doing the equivilant work of senior staff.

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

    • I don't think the skills will help me during my final year of uni, but they offered me a full time job for when I graduate, so they will help me then.

    3/5
