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

    • Having a line manager and weekly flash review meetings helped me through my 15 months with the organisation greatly.

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

    • There were times when I would argue I was too busy, however I would argue that this was a consequence of me failing to manage my own work load rather than my managers expecting to much of me.

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

    • I had the opportunity to head up the marketing operations of the small business I was working in due to my line manager changing roles. The opportunities and responsibilities available at 3M are limitless if you have the drive and ambition to take things on!

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

    • I would argue that my key skills such as interpersonal, time management and presentation have increased ten fold as a consequence of spending a year with 3M.
