    The Role

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

    • Colleagues were welcoming from day one and didn't make me feel like a new starter.

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

    • Whenever I needed help everyone in the department would welcome questions for support. In terms of my progression in the role, the guidance was great to continuously encourage me to improve and become a better member of the team.

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

    • There was a good balance and was never made to feel over worked to the extent of stress, however, I was busy enough to always be doing something and not become bored.

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

    • I was set my own projects such as improving the recruitment process to make it more efficient for the department and for applicants.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My organisation skills have definitely improved which is highly important for the final year of my degree to manage my time and ensure I can balance my work-social life. I have also become a more confident person which will be important when taking part in group work and giving presentations to an audience. Not only would it help me in my final year it has given me more of an insight in to the career path I want to take and to some of the situations and experiences I will have to deal with.

    5/5

    • The cost of living was fine, it wasn't expensive at all!

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

    • With Birmingham, Leicester, and Coventry close by you could opt for a City night out - also with Hinckley, Nuneaton, and Tamworth nearby you could have a cheaper but still a good night out.

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

    • There are loads of sports teams around the area that you can join or watch and join new sports (such as being half hour away from Tamworths SnowDome where you can learn to Skii and Snowboard). There are also plenty of gyms around the area where you can work out.
