    The Role

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

    • The corporate culture and people were great. The projects were also interesting. Having worked for a number of years I was used to have slightly more responsibility compared to some occasions during my internship, which I expected.

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

    • My team made me feel like one of 'the family' but due to the size of the organisation it was not possible to cross-paths with everyone in the wider department.

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

    • My Mentor was very approachable

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

    • It was a nice balance of being busy but not over-worked, leaving time to learn more about the organisation as a whole

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

    • For the projects I was given I had a good level or responsibility but of course given the infrastructure, certain things could only be implemented with the 'buy-in' of certain stakeholders

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

    • I wanted to develop my skills in online marketing and Social Media to increase my career prospects and the internship I feel "filled the gap"

    5/5

    • Everyone I encountered was really friendly and helpful
