    The Role

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

    • I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year. It has made me certain of the future career path that I wish to take, and taught me so many useful skills that I will continue to use and develop throughout my life. I have loved working for the company.

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

    • All of my colleagues treated me as a full time, mature employee which was so refreshing and really made me feel valued in the work place. Being able to feel comfortable and confident has allowed me to progress so much more than I might have otherwise.

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

    • The management structure is brilliant and all members of the management team are very supportive. Also the HR team are always on hand if there are any issues that come up and need to be resolved.

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

    • I was not particularly busy for the first few months of my placement. However after asking for an increased workload, and taking on a big project, I have been extremely busy. There is no pressure to work over your hours, however it's great to show that you can when needed.

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

    • I feel that I have been given a huge amount of responsibility but also given the support, help and guidance when necessary.

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

    • Everything that I have learnt will help me in the future

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

    • There are loads of opportunities to develop and take part in training courses. As well as doing lots of charity work which is great for networking with other people in the business that you may well not have met otherwise.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I did not have any fellow placement students where I was based and the social scene was fairly limited. I did however know this before I started and was still based near university so this was not an issue for me.

    4/5

    • Cost of living was very good compared to my salary.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Manchester has a great nightlife

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • We played 5 a side weekly and I also trained and completed a half marathon with my boss.
