    The Role

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

    • The internship has been really enjoyable so far. There are so many opportunities to meet new people and learn new and exciting things. It's an enjoyable, yet challengeding experience.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Most people are very open and approachable, though very busy. I haven't had a problem talking to senior members of staff if I needed to find out anything, but it's important to be clear and not to waste their time, and then they will be happy to help.

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

    • You do not get too much support from management as they are very busy. If you need help then they will try and assist but you learn to be independant.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Some days are very busy and some days are not as busy. Often when you manager is very busy and you finish your work, there is time when you have to wait abit. It's important to use this time effectively to meet people and learn more about the business.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You are given responsibility to get your work done. You feel like an employee from day one and that is important, but you do get guidance.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Some of the skills I have developed have been mainly soft skills in terms of confidence with talking to senior people and how to approach people. These are definitely the most important skills and intern can take from the experience.

    5/5

    4/5

    • Very few problems with the set up. Information was clear and available and HR were always available to answer any questions.

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