    • Audit goes hand-in-hand with my management degree and so it helped give context to a lot of my modules.

    The Company

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

    • Many people had recently left university and so were a similar age to myself, making it easy to talk to anyone.

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

    • Before I started I was emailed by my buddy letting me know which client I'd be working with the first week and what I'd be doing. The people I worked with on the next client also emailed me beforehand to let me know what I'd be doing.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
