    The Role

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

    • it was OK, but the job itself was pretty repetitive. I think it is more enjoyable for someone that does not have a lot of work experience

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • they always thanked me when I helped them and I was also praised on our social network when I did a great job for a colleague

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

    • anytime I had a question, my mentor was there to help me. However, I received most help from the other interns there

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

    • it depended: sometimes you didn't have much to do, but it would get busier by the end of the week

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I managed some projects, but they were relatively small. the number of projects would depend on the client willing to go on with the project, otherwise you would only QA all day

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I gained experience in working in a language service agency and it gave me an insight into the different phases of a translation project. it had helped me develop my skills of working in a fast-paced environment and work towards deadlines
