    The Role

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

    • Loved it! I've always wanted to work in the music industry and this placement was the perfect opportunity to sample it. Now that I've had a little taste, I really want to work in the industry full time.

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

    • I worked hard and enthusiastically and so I was always being told how well I was doing and how well I fit into the team. They loved me!

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

    • I was so starstruck and in awe whenever I was in the company of the management so I tried to absorb every little thing they said cause I am sure that it will help me out somewhere along the line.

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

    • The days flew by because I was so immersed in my work. I never wanted to leave when my hours were up.

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

    • Compared to some of my mates's placements I was given little responsibility but at the end of the day the nature of the industry means that only the very top people are allowed a high level of responsibility.

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • In terms of PR, it was more admin based but I was working in the music industry so I will always remember it as a valuable period.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I absolutely loved discussing artists and projects with permanent staff members so I was always excited to talk with anyone in the office.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • London is [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] awesome for night life. Much better than up North actually.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • An email bulletin went around each month which listed lots of events etc.
