    The Role

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

    • I have very much enjoyed my internship at Hays which has absolutely flown by! Due to the large responsibility I am given, it has been challenging but very rewarding

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

    • I have a very close relationship with my team and will be sad to leave shortly. They have always been encouraging for me to take on new work and supportive with any issues that I am having

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

    • My overall management and team leaders have been extremely supportive in my development throughout the year by organising training workshops for me to attend and to visit other departments of Hays to gain a greater understanding of their role to the business

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

    • On reflection, I feel that my workload on a daily basis has been manageable. Due to the reactive nature of my role, there could be days where I am very busy but by working efficiently I could meet deadlines

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I feel that the level of responsibility I was given was appropriate for an intern level employee. My line manager was always encouraging if I wanted to take on new responsibilities

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

    • Due to the very unique nature of my role, it may be difficult to directly apply my day to day tasks to my further studies. It has however, influenced my option choices for my final year due to the interests i have gained in this field of work. The personal competencies i have developed in this role including my time management and communication skills will certainly help me in my future career

    The Culture

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

    • Early in my placement, all Hays interns were invited to an intern conference for an afternoon to attend workshops and network with colleagues. I made some close contacts with other interns in the company but overall, the majority of my socialising involved my closer team.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Due to working in Central London, the cost of living and socialising could become expensive but all nights were very enjoyable. Due to the cost of living and fast transport links, I decided to live and commute from home to London in order to save money

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were various activities arranged by my colleagues due to being in such a great location. A colleague within the team recently organised a night to go rock climbing which was a great team building exercise
