    The Role

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

    • The internship was a valuable hands-on experience for me to get the real insight into the audit work. I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere at the office and the work that I carry out.

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

    • Everyone is more than willing to help you with any questions. If you don't ask, people even get worried about you. I really feel as part of the team!

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

    • The guidance is very clear, and I work with different people so it is my initiative to actively seek for support.

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

    • Most days are quite busy but if I focus on the work, I can always finish before 5.30.

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

    • It depends on the nature of the work. If they think I am able to deliver then I definitely can be responsible for it. But sometimes I don't get the client job expected because of inevitable issues. However, in audit, sudden job change is common.

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

    • Some skills are job specific, but most skills are transferable to my current study.
