    The Role

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

    • My colleagues have been really helpful knowing that it was my first time doing an internship, I was guided by my pharmacist manager and the training booklet provided made my learnings more organized.

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

    • I got good feedbacks from my supervisor

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

    • My team members always ask me on my work progression and when I made mistakes, they talked to me and encouraged me

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

    • I always keep myself busy, when I have not got any duty, I will help tidy up the store

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

    • Not as much as I would have expected, maybe because it was down to the fact that it was my first time joining the team and I have a lot more to learn before I can be given more responsibility. I definitely hope that the next year I will be able to handle more duties

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

    • 3/5

    The Company

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

    • Serious, but not too uptight, we have our occasional fun

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • My training booklet was only provided to me on my first day, I would have preferred to have them a week before so that I attend work more prepared and not overwhelm by sudden amount of information

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I do not have to re-apply online for next year's internship

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I'm hoping that it's better to have a meeting a day before we start our internship just to get us started and also a meeting during the last day of our internship so that we can exchange views and get feedbacks from other students working in the same company

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I'm not entirely sure

    3/5
