  • They were all very vocal about appreciating the work I was doing

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Really good support and as everyone works in the office together someone was always nearby if I needed to ask for help.

    5/5

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

    5/5

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

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learnt so much in my time at Magpie and it helped me realise that this is definitely the area I want to go in to. I am currently thinking of doing a postgraduate degree in marketing and advertising, and my new skills will help for this also.

    5/5

    The Company

  • Well organised/planned.

    5/5

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

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • It was great as we had several work 'socials' in our time there, and an especially amazing away day!

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Perhaps especially so for me as I live here for University anyway.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Leeds definitely has great and varied nightlife.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There is a lot going on in leeds because of all the Universities in the area, and anyone can join most of the sports teams at leeds uni so long as they buy a sports pass for example.
