    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The fact that I was not given that much responsiblity did not make me feel valued in relation to work, however the fact they invited me to social events and I was even invited to meet their families made me feel valued as a person

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

    • I wish I was given more support and guidence, I was thrown in at the deep end from day 1. And there were no clear guidelines for progression.

    1/5

    2/5

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Confidence, is a big skill I have developed in this placement, I was able to carry myself in a mature manner when meeting candidates, and the whole age gap was not a concern. I imrpoved my ability to structure my day and manage my time better.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • There was always banter and a close knit family feel, even though everyone was different.

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

    • It could have been set up a lot better, after a while doing the same thing over and over again can become very boring, if there was a clear structure, I would have been more motivated to do better as I would know what needed to be done to get to the next step.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
