The Role
I enjoyed my placement as I was moving around a lot and had various projects to work on. Placement could have been bit more organised.
Staff were really nice!!! Some i'd definitely say like a family.
Both of my managers supported and guided me throughout my placement, in terms or work and giving me advice regarding graduate jobs etc..
IT was a perfect balance except when it was time for auditing.. then I worked 12 hours!
Some of the skills I have developed on my placement, are already helping me in university and my part time job.
The Company
It was good!! Had the freedom to control the radio too!!
not organised very well, which was bit of a shame!
I was sent on various training and visited other sites to learn more.
National Travel
I have been offered a graduate scheme with Gist.
The Culture
No social scene among the placement students as they were all spread out on different contracts.
Bristol was expensive but north was affordable.
Bristol was amazing but wakefield...was okay!
I joined badminton at a local sports club.
