    The Role

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

    4/5

    4/5

    4/5

    • There were busy and not so busy times, I did find myself bored during the quieter times as to be expected.

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

    • I felt they eased you in nicely to your responsibility. At the end of the day everything you do has an affect on elsewhere in the business.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I am so much more confident in speaking to people and feel more comfortable in an office and business environment. I feel like this experience will give me a definite advantage for future employability opportunities.

    5/5

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I joined late so didn't have a laptop for the first 3 weeks. Other than this blip everything was quite well organised.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I really enjoyed working at the company and would definitely look to go back.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I do wish there was a better community between the interns but I do think this was the area I was in and not the overall feeling of interns at GE. Colleagues were great.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Living was cheap, going out was more expensive but you learn to budget!

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I dont go out too much but when I did it was fun.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • We had a monthly intern meet up.
