The Role
I enjoyed the social aspect of the job, as well as the responsibility the job offered. The hours were long but I was able to get used to this
I felt valued by colleagues and was often rewarded for jobs and tasks i carried out
My manager, and also other managers offered support and guidance, even though the job required me to be fairly self sufficient
I was mostly busy, except for a couple of occasions but I was able to create tasks to do
I was given a lot of responsibility, and this contributed to my enjoyment of the job as I felt like a trusted member of the team
The skills I developed will help me both in my degree and also to any job I perform after graduating, as I was given a completely different skill set during this year, including skills that I believe cannot be taught in a textbook
The Company
the atmosphere was typical to a sales floor
the work placement in general was very well organised
I was given ample opportunity for personal development, with a lot of exposure to many different disciplines
Financial Bonus
I would consider future employment
The Culture
yes there was the opportunity for an active social life
very high
There were many bars and pubs in the area i worked
Yes
