The Role

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

Working in a professional environment whilst continuously learning and improving my personal skills can only be a positive. I have currently been on placement for five enjoyable months and I already feel prepared for full time working life after graduation.

5/5

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

Coalters employ 29 individuals, because of the size of the company you are assigned meaningful, relevant and important responsibilities. There is nothing more rewarding than carrying out your own activities and seeing your hard work within projects implemented successfully.

5/5

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

My manager sits two seats away from my desk, he is very approachable and always helps me with any issues and problems I have struggled with.

5/5

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

Given realistic time frames for completion of projects.

4/5

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

I work in several different departments including sales, lettings, marketing and property management; I am assigned roles which vary making my job more interesting and helping me attain a broader skill set. I feel a valuable asset within the organisation and without my effort important tasks wouldn't be completed

5/5

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

Training, especially in the first couple of weeks and continuous on the job training has significantly enhanced my skill set making me feel prepared for final year of University and further.

5/5

The Company

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

Everyone in the office is enthusiastic and always prepared to help you, a great atmosphere to work in.

5/5

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

The property market is continuously changing and therefore my responsibilities at the start of the placement weren't clear. Jobs may arise unexpected at any time which I could get involved with.

4/5

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

I feel confident in my role at this moment in time, if I struggle with any responsibilities I know managers are keen to develop my skills to successfully complete tasks.

5/5

10. What were the perks on your work placement?

Company Car

Financial Bonus

Company Parties/Events

4/5

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

When I started placement I knew there was a possibility of being offered a job after graduation but I'm unsure if this is still the case. I have 7 months left of placement so I will be able to answer that question better towards the end of my placement.

4/5

The Culture

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

4/5

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

York is a fantastic place to live! I live a mile away from Coalters office in a reasonably priced property.

5/5

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

Fantastic clubs and bars, Saturday night especially.

5/5

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

Biggest downfall for me, I don't socialize a lot with my colleagues outside of work although I wish I did, everyone seems to be busy a lot of the time.
