    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed working with a golbal company and understanding how it works. I have also been able to use this year as an opportunity to understand where my strengths lie.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • This was very much dependent on who I worked for. When carrying out day to day activities I didn't feel valued and rewarded for my efforts. I felt most valued when working for a different departement on other projects

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My HR Manager was only able to meet with me Three times throughout the whole year therefore I felt that my guidence was not recieved through my suprvisor rather through my own contacts gained throughout my placement year. I reached out to a member of the marketing team for a mentor and recieved most of my guidence from this individual. Within my department I worked with another colleague on event who offered guidence and support

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • This was very much depenment on the upcoming events along with the time of year. There were times throughout the year when I felt as though I wasnt being utilised as an intern and therefore had to find tasks to do

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • towards the end of placement I was given more responsibility and was eventually able to organise and manage my own customer event. When reaching out to the marketing departement i got involved in organising the promotional side of the Experience Centre which was a great opportunity

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • carrying out the events in a corporate world enabled me to understand the importance of organisation and how to organise in the best posible way.As well as this I have learnt how to market in a more professional way

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • everyone in the office is really friendly

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I felt that my internship wasn't as well organised as it could be. There have been times where there has been no real direction for me as a student and no objectives set- In future I don't think there is a role for a marketing and sales intern within AGS

    3/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I went on 1 training course whilst at SAP which gave me an overview of the company and products. I was able to carry out my own personal development when seeking out my own mentor
