    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed it a lot!

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

    • Significantly. My entire team gave me responsibilities from the get-go and once I'd learnt how to do a few of the main tasks I was even developing certain projects directly for clients.

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

    • Any questions or issues I had were immediately solved. My line manager was extremely helpful.

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

    • Things died down a little in the last few weeks as a lot of my team went away on holiday. But for 80% of the internship I was constantly busy.

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

    • Significant amounts of responsibility as soon as I had an understanding of the systems we used

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

    • It probably won't have a strong impact on my degree studies as they weren't particularly related. However it has given me a strong idea of the "beyond".

    4/5

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

    5/5

    • It's central London - it ain't cheap.

    1/5

    4/5
