This role has a lot of responsibilities, there isn't someone constantly checking up on you, you are trusted to get on with your tasks and are given a lot of freedom when it comes to incorporating your own ideas.

I really want to work in marketing in a similar role after I graduate so for me it was a very beneficial year, I now understand what sort of jobs are available in marketing.

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

11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

There is a graduation which I would consider as it sounds like a great scheme, however I am pretty set on working in marketing, which I am aware has no roles available currently for graduates as it is a small department.

Social

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

Great social scene as there are so many other placement students, I lived with 5 other girls on placement and there was a boys house too as well as a few that lived near by, we have done things like nights out, rounders in the park, going for meals, bowling, zoo trips, beach trips and so on.

Living cost was cheap compared to back home, everything else was pretty standard.

14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

Great nightlife! lots of clubs with all different types of music, have seen artists like Blonde and Hannah Wants in Switch and then there is Jesters which is a must do!

15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

Not with work but with the other students yes
