    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement in the Digital Innovation team. The office culture is dynamic and fast-paced, so the work I received was really challenging and interesting. My colleagues were also fun and engaging to work with as well.

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

    • I feel valued by my colleagues, even though personality-wise they are very different to me. I felt like I was making a real difference in my contributions at work.

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

    • I was given enough support for my needs, but not so much that it became overwhelming or smothering.

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

    • It really varied, but as my line manager could trust me with more work she gave me more of the work I was seeking.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • It took a while to move on from basic tasks, but I proved myself to be capable of handling responsibility quite early on.

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

    • The work I did was slightly related to my degree in English Literaure, but I think the skills (especially soft skills) I developed will help me in my career beyond university.

    4/5
