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

    • Quite a lot of responsibility, given the same experiences as the full time reps. Calling real high up clients from huge big name companies as well as small companies of all statures.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The role was very heavily based around the company Bloomberg and it's system. I don't think I'll be able to use much if anything in the real world for my degree.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They pay very well if you get a job and having the internship under my belt should be helpful.
