    The Role

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

    • It's a killer schedule, don't have any doubts. But the whole point of the internship is to find the fun in everything you do and once you do you'll enjoy the job.

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

    • A very tight knit team. You will be in a region, which in turn is divided into teams. As our director said, by the end you'll be completing each other's sentences!

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

    • Very supportive hierarchy- just ask for it and you have support.

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

    • Very busy, you start at 2-9PM on weekdays, by the end be set for 11-9PM days everyday.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Tremendous- you control the company's revenues depending on how many people you sign up!

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

    • Beyond doubt they're life skills. Stick till the end and you will be rewarded!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Very positive and buzzing environment. High energy and motivational atmosphere.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

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

    • You'll have sales school for the first three days. This is very professional, high quality stuff. Advanced training is pretty insane as well. Even on a day to day basis the insights you receive are invaluable.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Car

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Good mobility, this is a small and growing company. If you enjoy this you'll be more than welcome.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes, our days off were much fun! Even on a daily basis, even simple things like traveling to field can be fun- it's all upto you.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Gillingham is dirt cheap.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I was in Gillingham, Kent. It had one club and this was pretty mediocre (1p entry though).

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • On days off we did stuff like pier visits and mini golf etc but not much on a regular day, unless you meet someone interesting in field! (Which is not that unlikely)
