Responsibilities
Yes, I was treated as if I was a full employee and was expected to do the work of one, and was not treated as a student. It was refreshing to be treated as if I was an actual employee and not just given busy work.
Support & Guidance
The entire team offered their expertise to me in the initial training and they were also happy to assist me whenever I had issues with work.
Culture
Everyone was immensely friendly, there were no unpleasant people I ever encountered. They cultivated a friendly attitude, often poking fun at each other with banter.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed the placement - I gained an opportunity to learn so much through real world experience and honestly learnt more in 10 months than I did in my previous 2 years of university. I enjoyed making new friends and learning new things.
Yes
Be enthusiastic when you apply, and show a passion for whatever it is you're applying for, preferably with prior experience, and show a willingness to learn more.
