    The Role

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

    • My manager and colleagues were a joy to work with and were always friendly and helpful. My project involved several tasks where I was given lots of responsibility from the beginning of my time with CLV and I was always invited to take on more work when I completed my projects.

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

    • Although I had many projects, there were days when there wasn't much to do as my project was largely leading to the end few weeks of my internship. However, this meant I could look for more projects and tasks to involve myself in and take on more responsibilities.

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Groups of colleagues went to lunch with each other and invited me on several occasions. The kitchen largely served as a social space where everyone was always friendly in the mornings. There was always chatter in the office and people around to talk to.
