    The Role

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

    • I found the placement a struggle to motivate myself and not become bored. Ideally I would have liked more responsibility or at least more entertaining roles.

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

    • Other waitresses, cleaners and interns were nice but the management were a bit elitist.

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

    • Management weren't really interested or bothered about me. I tried to discuss my feelings with them but they didnt really listen.

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There were busy and quiet periods which made it difficult to establish any sort of routine or mindset.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Nothing really. I would have liked more responsibililty would definitely have made the placement seem more worthwhile.

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

    • They will help a bit but can't say they'll help me massively. I have more ambition then wa realised or tested.

    1/5
