    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my internship at Language Connect. I think it's a great company that looks after its employees there is a nice atmosphere in the office. I met lots of new people even made some new friends.

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

    • I felt very valued by my colleagues. If I did something well, I was praised and everyone had a very positive attitude.

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

    • My supervisor was the best supervisor I could have asked for. She was incredibly patient, helpful and really, really nice so that I felt immediately welcome and never hesitated to ask a question if I had one. She was a great supervisor to me and I hope that many other interns will get the opportunity to work with her.

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

    • I was quite busy on a daily basis. My team members were taking turns in asking for my help with something, so I almost always had something to do. It certainly never got boring.

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

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility. I was given my own small projects to manage and dealt with the client on the one side and the linguists on the other. It was extremely interesting and I took away a great set of new skills from this.

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

    • This internship was very rewarding. I have already finished my degree so it did not help me with my studies. I am actually staying at the company and I will start a permanent role which I am very happy about. In that sense the internship was extremely beneficial to me.

    5/5

    • The atmosphere in the office was very nice. Everyone was very open and welcoming.

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

    • It was very well organised. The company has quite a few interns at a time which means they have to offer a good, organised internship programme. And they really do!

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

    • They invested a lot in me. I got my own personal mentor, who was more than happy to help me with any queries or questions I had. She also really took the time to train me and explain everything I had to know in detail.
