    The Role

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

    • Overall, very enjoyable experience, but it can still be improved by standardising the experience for all interns. Because currently, some are working with more clients and perform a wider variety of tasks, while others do not even go to clients.

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

    • Amazing work environment. Although I did not have any experience in the sphere, they would trust me with various tasks.

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

    • No one had refused to help, always found time for me.

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

    • There were some busy times, but there were also times that I felt that I should be doing more.

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

    • The company is very flexible in terms of that. You are given as much responsibility as you want. It is up to you to show your full potential.

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

    • My job was not directly related to my degree, but it will definitely give me more confidence in my studies.

    4/5
