    • Definitely part of the team and everyone was welcoming because I was a student

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

    • I had support but compared to my part time job I think it could have been better

    4/5

    • Sometimes too busy, but I enjoyed this nonetheless

    5/5

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

    • I received training and on the job learning as well, which allowed me to develop skills for life. It also improved my transferable skills such as being confident, good communicator, being organised etc.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • We worked hard and played hard! Lots of motivation from managers and seniors

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

    • It could be improved in some ways but I think everyone learns in different ways so it is impossible to suit every individual's needs

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

    • A lot of the training was on-the-job and in the beginning I learnt from my mistakes because it seemed that everyone was too busy to help. But overall I think it made me a stronger because I was self-motivated, which is also an important skill in the workplace

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would definitely like to explore different graduate job opportunities within Hays

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I developed good friendship with 3 other students that worked on the same floor, so we enjoyed sharing our experiences regularly as we were in different departments

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

    • Most of the socialising was based on incentives so it was all paid for, which was awesome!

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

    • Central London has amazing nightlife anyway

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

    • A few sporty opportunities to get involved in but did not appeal to me

    3/5
