    The Role

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

    • This role is challenging with much responsibility. The team provide support to help you with the work.

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

    • I was given work that graduates would be given. A lot of my work would be checked and then submitted to the client. So you are actually given real work to help the team.

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

    • You have a buddy and line manager. Your buddy is someone you can ask questions about your work and general questions about the job. Line manager more checks up on how you're getting on.

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

    • Very busy internship. If you say yes to work you won't have a day without work to do. However, you can still work the normal ours. There is no need for the interns to stay late.
