    The Role

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

    • The job was better than I expected. I was given the same level of responsibility as all my team members and was running my own desk straight away. The level of training I received was brilliant too and I learnt a lot!

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

    • I was made to feel apart of the team instantly! Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

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

    • My manager and director have been so helpful and really pushed me to help my self development. Our team development days were fun and encouraging usually to hit our targets using incentives! There are also national competitions between depts in other regions which get the team working well together.

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

    • I was always busy and would never be stuck for something to do, which I enjoy!! The days went so fast there wasnt time for clock watching.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I had the same level of responsibility as the rest of the team and I was running my own jobs, candidates and clients. Time management is a big factor in this job and prioritising what needs to be done. The level of interaction with candidates and clients was very high and filling your own job feels like such an achievement

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

    • With the range of skills I have developed at Hays and through the extensive training, I have gained so much that will definatly be skills for life. Managing my time and confidence are probably the most important to me.
