    2/5

    5/5

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

    1/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • I definitely understand what goes on in a high end fashion brand now, and what it takes to make a collection in a company such as this, whereas before working here I don't think I really knew about all the components that go into it, and all the different jobs involved.

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • There were no expenses, but free tea and coffee!


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • got to meet lots of different employees with different job roles.

    3/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • the other interns were all very lovely and social, we went out for drinks and have stayed in touch.

    2/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I don't think there were any.

    1/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • yes, it was a lovely place to work, often tasks were menial or repetitive but I think that any internships are going to be like that, I learnt a lot in my three weeks here, met some lovely people and really enjoyed my time here. I have heard horror stories about companies such as Peter Pilotto and McQueen treating their interns really badly and this wasn't like that at all. People seemed genuienly grateful for your help.

    5/5
