    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed this insight a lot. This is mainly because it was to develop my own musical skills and I even got to perform in shows to raise money for charity so there was this underlying moral goodness to what I was doing as I was also supporting others, not just me.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I think I was quite valued by my colleagues. This is because they invested quite a lot of time in helping me to be a better musician and a better performer so I felt like they valued me a lot. I also felt valued as I got to perform at shows so I felt as if I did have some talent.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given a lot of support and guidance. I was told how to improve in my musical ability and also how to improve on performing to an audience. I was also coached after each of my shows so that I could improve each time and each performance would be increasingly better.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was generally quite busy on a daily basis as I had to practise and improve my music so that I would improve. However, this was fun as I enjoyed it and I never felt like I was bored and I never felt like it was repetitive as I was improving in different things.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given quite a high level of responsibility. This is shown mainly by me performing at shows to raise money for charity so they trusted me enough to perform for such a good cause so I felt like I had a certain responsibility to the company and to the charities.

    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 think that the musical skills I developed will stay with me forever as I am definitely a better performer now which is good. I also feel like the experience of performing will be useful in the future for me to use as reference for me when I am performing in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Generally, it was quite fun when I was working there. This is mainly because I got to practise my music around like-minded people so I got on well with them and they were really fun so my rehearsals were never boring and they helped me a lot which made it very supportive.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I think that the internship was set up quite well as there was quite a good distribution between rehearsing and performing which was good for me as it meant I kept improving before my next performance which I really appreciated as I got to feel that I was growing as a person.

    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 training and development, the company did invest a lot in me as they did help me improve my musical abilities quite a lot and they would do this all the time so I was continually improving with their help which was really nice of them to do so.

    5/5

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would definitely love working there in the future as not only do I get to perform there which is definitely my passion, I also get to raise money for charity which is really good because it felt like I was making a wider impact in the world through my music.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There was a good social scene between me and the other colleagues because we all obviously liked music so were very like-minded and this was nice to know that I was working with people like me while I was there and this made it much easier to work there in fact.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost of living in London was of course very high but I did not need to move as I was able to travel from home into the studio that I worked in. There was definitely a wide variety of socialising opportunities near the studio that I worked at but some were priced very high.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Near the studio, there was quite a lot of nightlife which was very nice as it meant that there were things to do after work and there was quite a large variety of things to do so we got to experience many things. However, sometimes these opportunities could be overly expensive.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were endless social opportunities to meet up with the colleagues working there to have a good time and just relax and socialise outside of work which was nice to know we were all comfortable like that. Furthermore, I got to go to many other music concerts which was very fun.

    5/5
