    The Role

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

    • It was initially quite difficult, but once you are able to get to grips with everything it becomes more enjoyable. Especially if you get on well with your team.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Initially it was difficult to make an impression, but after a while you have the opportunity to really make your mark. I get on really well with my team, and definitely feel valued.

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

    • I received regularly training and on the job coaching throughout my time which was really useful.

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

    • Initially your workload is not the largest, but a lot of the role as a Resourcer is being proactive. As time went on and my responsibilities got larger, it was very busy. However, I never felt flooded with work.

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

    • There was definitely the opportunity to increase your responsibilities as time went on. When I moved into a fully fledged 360 role I was responsible for my own desk, which is similar to running your own business.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I gained on my placement year was invaluable. I've received great training and have developed various transferrable skills across the year.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • It was difficult to integrate initially as the only placement student. However my team did have nights out fairly regularly and were very easy to get on with on a day-to-day basis.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The organisation throughout was great. Especially as we were the first lot of placement students it was all very well organised.

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

    • In terms of personal development you do have the opportunity to attend various training sessions to personally develop. However, I never really took advantage of these.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I have had an offer to return on the graduate scheme for when I finish university.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was difficult as the placement students were based across different sites, however there were events organised with the opportunity to meet up.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I worked in Oxford which is an expensive area to live in. However, the placement year is relatively flexible with location.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

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

    • In my office we did take part in some 5-a side football which was a good laugh!
