    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • The insight was really useful and I really enjoyed my time there. It was good to get to explore the campus, and made me realise that i'd prefer to work for a large company than a small one. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I also got to try out 5 different departments so that was really fun.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I didn't have a lot of responsibility since it was only a week work experience, so therefore I think its fair to say I was a valued member of the team. However, everyone was welcoming.

    2/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Lots of support, everyone genuinely wanted to help. I even managed to go back and spend a day at the studio since that was where my interests lie.

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

    • It helped me understand what kind of company I want to work for, and it was great to see different paths of Television that I didnt know existed.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was extremely well structured, and every minute of the day was planned - which was good because you didn't feel in the way.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Really great, and i'd go back anyday.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Not a lot, since again it was only a week placement, and it was more about letting me see how things run. I felt like genuine work experience, rather than being exploited for free work - like other places i've been too/

    3/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • It was a good environment to work in, and I liked the idea of hot seating.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • a little, because of the time constraints - but it was good to get a feel for the place.

    3/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • It helped open my eyes to more pre-production and admin roles in TV, that aren't just editorial.

    5/5
