I thoroughly enjoyed my placement I was given a lot of trust and responsibility and really felt I developed my management potential throughout the six weeks The partners and all members of the management team were extremely friendly and helpful
This was an excellent opportunity to develop skills I had learnt earlier in life Before working for John Lewis as one of their Summer Placement students I had worked in retail for five years I was keen to learn as much as possible from my time with John
I have had the chance to learn so much a good range of skills that will has put me in good stead for when I start working after graduation
Training for the job role itself was excellent aswell as training for more general management skills such as time management and planning and prioritisation External trips to other parts of the businss were brilliant and had constant support and encour
My placement exceeded all my expectations I was given real responsibility and full accountability for delivering results
Very varied and very enjoyable Im on my six month and now appointed an Assistant Section Manager The next six months could result in me becoming a Section Manager and then a Department Manager very varied with a unique company culture
Never have I had a job as enjoyable in all aspects of the environment Not once did I see at as a chore to come to work
I enjoyed my job most days with really lovely people both in the partnership and suppliers i spoke to daily however i am not sure if its a job i want after i leave university will just have to wait and see
Every day was different got to travel the country in a Company Car
I was based in one department but I was also given the opportunity to meet different people from throughout the company and get an insight into other areas of the business This made the placement more interesting
