    The Role

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

    • Very friendly members of staff, good relaxed working environment and challenging work

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Some members of staff made an effort to get to know me

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

    • My supervisor went out of her way to help me whenever I needed help and was very easy to talk to about anything

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

    • Never bored, plenty of work to do. Sometimes too busy but not often enough to be a serious problem (That's life)

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

    • I was trusted with customer data and making changes to customer's systems just like the permanent members of staff.

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

    • I feel that a lot of the knowledge gained would not be useful in my degree or after university (unless I was to return to work there after university). However most of it is transferrable as I improved on both hard technical skills and soft skills.

    3/5

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