    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement at REED . I have gained so many transferrable skills which I can use both at university and at the work and the work place. Working as a resourcer, I had an extremely involved role within my team and I have really enjoyed my placement year.

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

    • Throughout my time at REED, my manager has been so supportive and given me a lot of guidance. From the day I started REED my manager was really welcoming and ensured that I was happy with my role and helped me through it stage by stage until I was confident enough to be more independent.

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

    • Within recruitment everyday is different. As a resourcer, you have a number of tasks to do (eg admin, supporting the team resourcing, compliance) so everyday is extremely busy however throughout my time I have built on my organisation skills and this has helped me to ensure that I get everything done effectively and in a timely manner.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Throughout my time at placement, I was given more responsibility. At the beginning it was more about learning about my initial role and the team and slowly as I became more confident I was given more responsibility. I was in charge of recruiting a big contract within the business this involved a lot of responsibility from my behalf to ensure everything goes effectively.

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

    • The skills that I have learnt throughout my time at REED will definitely be beneficial for my final year of university. I have gained and adapted many skills which will be transferable on my return. Some examples include time management skills, communication and organisational skills. All these skills will come in handy in assisting with my final year of university and beyond.
