    The Role

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

    • I extremely enjoyed my placement year at Reed! It was an enjoyable and extremely useful year in which I’ve learnt so much and developed both professionally and personally. The support system and opportunities to grow are insane!

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

    • Always receiving consistent feedback as well as coaching and mentoring. I had both reviews and an appraisal on my set objectives and always knew I was working towards something and heading in the right direction.

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

    • The level of support from my team was incredible, my co members were always willing and keen to help me grow as a person as well as in my role. Honestly I had never felt alone and it was so reassuring having a support system!

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

    • Extremely busy! But in a good way- I always had clear and guidelines and set myself a to do list on a daily basis. I think how busy you are is down to you because you have to learn to prioritise and manage your time effectively.

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

    • Within the first 12 weeks I was asked to manage my own project which involved managing clients which of course was not my initial role as a Resourcer. It was so rewarding knowing I was achieving and progressing within my first few months to be able to be trusted with additional responsibilities.

    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 have gained so many skills and enhanced my communication skills and my confidence! There was consistent training and CPD which was extremely useful

    5/5

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

    • Extremely organised- we always knew what was upcoming and training was planned well in advance

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