    The Role

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

    • The people were brilliant but I think the job role could have been more related to my department as opposed to general admin roles.

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

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

    • 2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Some days I would be really busy (which I loved) but some days I literally would have nothing to do.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility with some tasks, but not taken as seriously with others.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My job role didn't relate to university work at all, but the career development days and introduction into working life was brilliant.

    2/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The people were welcoming and inviting and I will definitely miss working with them.

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

    • I don't think the job roles were very well thought out (bored a lot of the time). Although, we were the first year Boots ever did a placement year so it's all learning for the future.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It all depends on one person whether decide if you get a job after, which can be seen as a little unfair.

    1/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • All got along really well and did a lot of social things together.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • 3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
