    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my internship at CR UK. I was not sure what I had signed up for as the interview process all happened very quick. I learned a lot and was able to change careers and take confidence in applying for jobs after.

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

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

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

    • Some days were pretty intense, on the most part I was able to deal with it and leave the workplace with a calm head.

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

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

    • This internship has helped me massively to build skills and confidence in working in a completely different sector to my training. I have built a strong CV and have been successful in securing interviews since completing the internship.
