    The Role

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

    • I loved my placement, they matched it really well to my personality, what I was looking to get out of the time and I was lucky enough to be offered part-time work for my placement company.

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

    • Very valued, my supervisor especially as she entrusted me and the other intern with job level tasks straight away, teaching and mentoring us from beginning to end; as a result I'm walking away with career ready and very tangible skills.

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

    • There was a level of trust to the extent that we would be left to tackle the given tasks and if we were stuck help would be offered.

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

    • I worked a minimum of 8 hours a day, and then explored the city on afternoons and weekends, so it was 8 weeks of non stop activity; which made weekends away with the CI time (to Lake George) extremely valuable.

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

    • Me and the Intern were put in charge of expanding my companies online subscription service and expanding their online presence, so we were given alot of responsibility.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I was taught to prioritize my tasks and to "work up," to be organised about what I really needed help with and bank questions for a time that was helpful to my supervisor. She taught me to be more independent with my work and to be confident in my abilities.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Really friendly, we were never patronised or spoken down to, it was a cooperative and postitive atmosphere.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was very well organised, I was set up with a personal helper who prepped me for every interview.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They invested alot because lots of the programs we had to use were new to us, so I'm walking away with a whole new skill set.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
