    The Role

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

    • I expected not to like Project Management but it was really a good surprise!

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

    • Very friendly and pleasant staff, always happy to help and have an informal chat when needed.

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

    • Very present, I could ask help to any Project Manager on my team or other teams, they would never say no. Worst they could would be that they're busy and can it wait 15 min.

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

    • I was usually very very busy but I put all stars as to me it was interesting and challenging, I never had time to get bored, there was always something to do and it was very dynamic.

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

    • Obviously I wasn't given full responsibility but all the responsibility they could give, they gave it.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Project managing skills are transferable skills, you can use them for any life situation: working under pressure with tight deadlines, communication skills, organisational skills, etc.

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