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

    • Didn't ever felt like a burden though clearly at times I was as they had to explain to me what to do etc. Felt that I contributed to the overall result in all tasks

    • Supervisor and HR were always around if I wanted a chat, original meeting set out clearly what I wanted to achieve from the internship. I had an interim appraisal and a final appraisal to give me feedback and to ask my opinion.

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

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

    • The work I was done was reviewed and went into the finished report of some jobs. I was given the responsibility of updating intranet page, which involved writing a report on client feedback

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