    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Firstly, I am very lucky and have awesome manager and team. They are very supportive, inclusive and I really learn a lot from them. My manager told me at the beginning that I only here for 10 weeks, so it is what they (manager and team) can do for me, rather than I can do for them. And I actually learn and benefit a lot from that. Secondly, the HR organized lots of networking event, and I even have chances to talk to many high ranking people including ED and MD. Finally, they listened to employee's need and try their best to give you better experiences.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Inclusive, They mentioned me in every single event from the Town hall till a leaving drink. It was quite hard at the beginning, but as long as you know how to collaborate, they will be open and help you out a lot.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I had one hour review with my manager every week, where I have chance to listen and give feedbacks. It is incredible opportunity where I not only ask about my performance but also asking her questions about her experiences, and have lots of advices from her, I also have 'Project Management' 1 hour learning with her every week, where she teaching me skills, process, and how to become a successful PM. Further than that, as she sits next to me, I can ask her every single questions immediately, from how to use printer to review email before send out. she always happy to help me out.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It is a demanding job. Sometimes I got really busy and stay late, but sometimes I have very little work to do. In that time, I tried to shadow and overview people from other department.
