The Role
It was never a struggle to get motivated to go to work and was more a case of where did they day go as appose to time dragging in.
I was always thanked for the work I completed and was given a very generous gift from the people I have worked with at the end of the internship,
I was able to approach staff at all levels including partners for support and help with the work I was completing.
The list of clients and projects ensured I always had work to be done.
The team allowed me to take full responsibility for the work I was undertaking. I often had to phone clients and HMRC to discuss issues.
The training given on the trips to London as well as in the office was very useful both for the internship and the future.
The Company
Everyone was very friendly.
The internship was really well organized.
I got lots of experiance working on different tasks, the company made arrangements for this to happen!
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Hopefully I will have a job offer in the next few weeks.
The Culture
On the trips to London we were out for dinner and the pub every night.
London is very expensive, much cheaper when working in Glasgow.
Glasgow and London. Excellent night life.
Played football with the guys, CR day in London, Friday night drinks in the office
