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

    • The organisation itself isn't too big so you get to know most people quite well which I really enjoyed. I worked really closely with my team and felt I could ask them for help with anything!

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

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

    • As with most jobs there were busier periods and quieter ones but overall I'd say there is a pretty good balance in the role. During quieter periods there is still plenty to do and always someone you can help.

    • The ABI definitely offers you the opportunity to take ownership and responsibility of your work which was great!

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