    The Role

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

    • The whole placement has been an absolute joy! The people are all so friendly and welcoming. I have learnt so much over the last few months about how the company works and hands on business experience.

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

    • Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, my manager constantly made me feel valued for all my hard work as well as my team.

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

    • I had regular meetings with management and they were there to help all the time. The meetings helped to focus what I wanted to get out of the internship and progress within the company.

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

    • Working at Edinbrugh airport meant that we were very busy, especially during August! It's a very steep and fast learning curve, but also a very rewarding one.

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

    • The level of responsibility I have had this summer has been incredible, the management trusted me to do the right thing on every decision I made, and was also there for me when I wanted guidance.

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

    • Being on a language degree and working at Edinburgh airport has allowed me to not only develop my business skills but to also improve my languages, using them practically everyday.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • When we had a quiet moment the atmosphere was wonderful, the team all got on really well and we are always having a great laugh!

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

    • The training was followed immediately by a start, and starting with other interns also meant that you weren't the only new kid!

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

    • The company not only provided a training week, but also training days to help us gain new skills. Doing the MT folder during the internship really makes you feel like there is a future in the company, and have something valuable to take away from your summer.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I am looking forward to representing the company on campus. And also returning after university!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Busy hours meant that there wasn't a lot of free time outside of work but we did have a night out and became great friends spending the summer together.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I already lived in Edinburgh so my costs stayed about the same! The airport bus takes e bus pass so it was pretty decent travel costs.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It's Edinburgh so it's great!

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

    • Charity events were held throughout the summer which we could take part in.
