    The Role

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

    • I thought HR were brilliant in organising social events and looking after the interns. Although I felt I was not given the opportunity to grow or add value to the company at times.

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

    • I felt as though I was not given the opportunity to work on tangible projects however when shadowing and completing small jobs I felt as though I was valued.

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

    • My manager was always supportive and gave me a lot of guidance with who to spend time with however HR were not supportive in making sure we were given the opportunity to add value to myself and the company.

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

    • Most days I was busy shadowing members of the team however the days where I was unable to shadow I felt as though I could have been working on a project or a research that would have helped the team.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Even though I asked for more work my manager found it difficult to delegate any work to me thus I felt useless at times

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

    • I think I have gained a lot of new skills throughout this internship such as how to speak to clients and presentation skills. These skills I will be able to bring back to university and within my future job.
