    The Role

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

    • We were given a decent amound of responsibility, but my role was quite data heavy which wasn't always something I enjoyed.

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

    • My colleagues trusted me and my work and valued my opinions. I was definitely listened to within the team.

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

    • My manager always made time for me whenever I needed it. She advised me on things she thought I could improve on and praised me for things I did well.

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

    • Sometimes I was really busy, sometimes I was a bit more quiet. But the work balanced itself out. I never felt over worked or bored.

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

    • The projects that I worked on were my own, and I worked on them independently. But in the main scheme of things the projects weren't overly important or integral to the team.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I've learnt most about working in an office environment and how to act around people, carry out meetings, work effectively and generally be productive..

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