About You
I understand it was only a week'a work experience, however after meeting everyone including the department managers my applications to be an assistant were not considered. I have previously done a styling short course too with high grades in creative subjects. A company like this should take pride in hiring people that they build relationships with and people who have a creative flare, not just people who have a degree.
The Company
The styling and creative departments weren't expecting me, so the structure of my work experience was very half hearted. Although I did get to experience every department which was interesting.
Everything Else
I was meant to have my expenses paid back to me, however after 5 months of chasing and false promises I still have not received the payment. Very poorly run in the finance department!!
