    The Role

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

    • My placement title was HR coordinator but I was able to get involved in so much more than just HR including L&D and recruitment. This meant that every day was different and I never got bored. It was hard adjusting to full time work but my first experience working in a corporate environment couldn't have been in a better company.

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

    • Everyone was so helpful, especially at the beginning when everything was very new. I felt like a member of the team from my first day.

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

    • We had weekly catchups to discuss my goals and anything I was struggling with/needed. I knew that if I had any questions or problems that I could ask and help/guidance would be given.

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

    • I went through period of being really busy when I had a big project that I was working on. The rest of the time the work was steady and manageable.

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

    • I was given a few big projects throughout my year at Tech Data that I was trusted to completely own.

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

    • My confidence has massively improved and I feel like I'm able to communicate better both written and verbally. I also feel like this year has made me more organised and able to prioritise tasks.

    4/5

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

    • The people and culture are amazing so I would love to come back to work at Tech Data if there was a role for me.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • A few of us have gone out but it's hard to organize group events as there were quite a few of us. Also the local town for us to go out in doesn't have that much to offer.

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

    • I think to live in/around Basingstoke is fairly expensive but luckily I could live at home and commute this year.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are some bars and good pubs but could be a lot better.

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

    • My team have organised a number of team nights out/dinners. I have also been able to attend some external training days and company events.
