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

    • In the job I was in, career feedback and development was really important. I had meetings every month to discuss both my performance and the branch as a whole, and each morning we had a meeting to discuss progress and goals for the day.

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

    • I was put in charge of the system that communicates and books in insurance deals, which ideally had to be done every 2 days, and I took charge of our system that monitored customer comments and feedback. I was also given five company contacts to be in charge of.

    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 learned a lot at my internship. I developed my customer service skills even more and I learned that multitasking and taking initiative are really important skills. I struggled with them a bit at the beginning but now I really feel like I know how to do these things. I think these skills will really help me in the future, both in my studies and in my career.

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