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

    • Unfortunately, although I learnt a lot in the first half of my placement and was very busy. The area that I work in has been very quiet for the last few months, so I haven't been that busy recently.

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

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility, being left in charge of my manager's work while he was away. I felt like I was treated as an equal rather than an intern.

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

    • I think that the skills that I have learnt will help a lot when it comes to time management when I am back at university. I also have learnt and developed a lot of transferable skills that I believe will be useful in most jobs I will have in the future, for example, organisation, time management and persistency.

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

    • It was good being treated the same as other new employees, receiving the same level of training and development. It feels like they care about what you are getting out of the placement and therefore they put a lot of effort into making sure you learn a lot.
