    The Role

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

    • I did enjoy the job and the role I had and felt that it has helped me develop my skills. I was unsure whether HR was what I wanted to go into when I was older and since having my placement in this area, I have now realise it isnt as I have a greater interest in Marketing and Sales

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

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

    • Depended from day to day- some days I was really busy but there were others when I wasn't. In some respect, I would of liked it to have busier.

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

    • Helped me to manage workloads, can now relate what I have learnt and will learn next year to a working environment. Given me the opportunity to realise that HR is not an area I would like to work within when I'm older.

    • Not that appealing- a number of placement students have come back over the years but not a great amount

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • A good social life within the students- there is 34 in total at Janssen, so we would go out at least once a week together- some of us have arranged holidays together, also done a number of other activites as a group.

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

    • Cost of living wasn't too bad- lived close by with 3 other students so petrol wasnt that expensive and rent was ok. in terms of going out, High Wycombe doesnt have a lot of places to go so would have to travel else where, which could work out expensive.

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

    • Not good!!! Only one club in High Wycombe and some bars- we would travel further afield to go out but because there is soo many of us, taxi fare is cheaper.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • We have a football teams, a sport and social club where we go on theatre trips etc
