    The Role

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

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I definitely felt valued by each of my colleagues, interns are given an equal level of responsibility so you don't feel any different to anyone else in the office and always feel valued by your team and the wider office.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I found my manager very supportive, they were always there to answer any query or question I had and were never too busy to make time for me if I had something I needed guidance or support on.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Interns are given the same responsibility as other consultants in the office and are equally valued, this is a great experience and the level of responsibility you are given is much more than the majority of student placements.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I feel the skills and experience I have gained will greatly help me going back into my final year of studies and also going back into the workplace in the future. The training you are provided at Hays is top class, with each intern getting the opportunity to travel to England for training.
