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

    • My management/supervisors made sure that there was always someone that was able to support or assist us if we had a problem. My team were always willing to help with any issues and provide advice when necessary.

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

    • IBM provide online education, opportunities to volunteer and encourage shadowing, so there were plenty of activities to be involved in if my main role was quiet.

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

    • My role involved regular communication with the client, which gave me the responsibility to build a polite and effective relationship with the customer.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I am studying for a degree in Economics, however, my role was in finance/commercial management, so there were a small amount of skills common to both, e.g. analytical skills.
