Online Community Intern Review

From providing exciting challenges to meeting new people and making great contacts, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Macmillan.

Colleagues and other staff were helpful and accommodating, providing suitable advice when necessary and suitably respected my work,

Always felt as though I could ask my supervisor anything, from the smallest question to advice on how to deal with larger problems.

At no point did I feel over-encumbered or over-pressurised with work. The great variety of tasks offered to me helped me feel that I could diversify and learn new skills without having too much on my plate.

A great deal of autonomy over my project. My supervisor and colleagues were on hand for advice and guidance, but otherwise allowed me to control the project.

Great variety of skills and experience learned, as well as development of existing skills. An invaluable experience to help with my career progression.

Relaxed and friendly! The right balance of a good work ethic and amiable atmosphere.

Can't fault it. Everything was organised well and the initial induction process went smoothly.

Offered me inductions with specific teams/staff across the charity, where I had the chance to learn and experience the wide variety of roles and work available.

I'd like to say this is better, but the team I worked with didn't seem to have a lot of room for expansion. I will however, remain interested in applying for future jobs here knowing that the internship has provided me with essential experience to work with the charity in future. I'm certain that my time as an intern won't be forgotten about!

It was great to see that social events were always occurring which were most importantly, inclusive to all.

Did not really experience much of this, other than lunch meals which weren't at all over-priced.

Not really applicable to my internship experience.

A fair number of opportunities although most were based in and around the central office in London.
