    The Role

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

    • I learnt loads and was given freedom for personal projects and tasks as well as to find my own tasks. It was brilliant to be treated like a real member of the work force.

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

    • The man I worked with, was fantastic. He treated me as an equal and we joked at each others expensive and worked together to fix most faults as well as asking each others advice.

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

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

    • During term time it was fantastic as there was lots to do but during the uni holidays it was quiet and it worked out that i got on with lots of personal projects so it was fine.

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

    • There were many occassions when i was left to solve issues, and when it came to radio issues i was pretty much running the show with guidance and my colleague ran the music studios with my help.

    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 felt i learnt more here than i did in the course so far. (strangely enough the anti-christian lecturer is the one who has made me learn nothing). I came away feeling i could do this as a living.

    5/5

    • We joked and laughed at each other and chatted about both personal and general stuff.

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

    • I often found my own work which was fantastic, but they could make it easier to develop personal projects along the way.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It has made me question whether i would rather work here then the radio industry but my passion for radio overruns that.

    3/5

    • The coffee breaks made it possible to get to know other colleagues better.

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

    • It works out at average prices. However the placement doesnt pay too well.

    3/5
