    4/5

    • As much as I wanted, i.e. if I asked a question it was answered helpfully and in depth.

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

    • Helpful, cleared up a few things I wasn't sure about with examples in the industry. Clarification really. Also gave me more of an indication into what I would wish to do when I need to get a job.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Wasn't a huge amount of structure, just did what was given to me. None of the events happened due to meetings and us being out of office, so probably would have felt more so if not for that.

    3/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Positive, I enjoyed the environment.

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

    • Not a huge amount, have jobs to do. Gave me experience of an office I suppose, and a few site visits were helpful.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Told it was a quiet week so not hugely, but that can't be helped.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • A bit, not hugely, I imagine every office is completely different to others and to the general overview they say they are on the website.

    3/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Very helpful, hotels now appear more appealing.

    4/5
