    The Role

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

    • The internship course in relation to the company was good. I did not enjoy my role and I have been managed very poorly.

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It varied every day, and as our team grew I became less busy, which was good. At the start of my placement I felt very overwhelmed.

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

    • Very little, my role hasn't really developed since I started

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Although I received very little training, I believe I can deal with difficult situations at work well and I have learnt a lot bout the working environment. I also feel like my organisation and prioritizing skills have improved immensely.
