The Role
It provided a wide variety of responsibilities and I enjoyed every minute!
Everyone I met was brilliant, so supportive & welcoming.
Amazing manager, got on really well and taught me a lot.
Some days were naturally busier/slower than others, but that's the nature of th real world of work!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much autonomy/responsibility I was given pretty much from Day 1.
I will take everything I've learnt fom the internship & improve my ability within the workplace for life.
The Company
People worked hard when required (99% of the time!) but always found time for a quick hello/how are you/joke/comment on th enews etc.
Absolutely flawless -- great structure, lots of opportunities e.g. for networking with senior management, well organised BBQ's, meals, boat parties, nights out. Lots of support.
Free access to 1000's of online training courses, plenty of time allocated to conduct training, plus extra classroom based stuff at the start of the internship.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
I've secured a contracting job starting the day that my internship finishes!
The Culture
I enjoyed what was offered.
I live in the area anyway, so used to the prices.
Bmouth is renowned for it's nightlife.
SO much to do it was hard to pick!
