The Role
I FELT THAT PEOPLE WERE OVERLOOKED IN THEIR JOB ROLES AND OTHER PEOPLE WERE PRAISED FOT THINGS THAT WERE NOT DEEMED ETHICAL
SOME PEOPLE I FELT VALUED BY BUT OTHERS I FELT LIKE I WAS OVERLOOKED BECAUSE I WAS AN INTERN
MY DIRECT MANAGER WAS THE BEST THAT I COULD ASK FOR SHE GAVE ME SUPPORT NOT JUST ABOUT WORK BUT ALSO OUTSIDE
WE WERE ALWAYS BUSY BUT THIS KEPT ME GOING AND IT MADE THE DAYS GO FASTER
WE WERE CHALLENGED ON A DAILY BASIS WITH RUNNING THE DAY AND ALL OF THE MARKETING AND FINANCE THINGS THAT WE WERE GIVEN TO DO AND NOT 2 DAYS WERE THA SAME
EVENTHOUGH I HATED THE JOB SOMETIMES THE SKILLS AND THINGS THAT I HAVE LEARNT I WILL TAKE WITH ME AND USE THEM IN MY LATER CAREER

SOMETHINGS RAN SMOOTHLY OTHERS DID NOT

I CAN WORK FOR THEM WHEN I LEAVE BUT IT IS MY CHOICE WHETHER I DO OR DO NOT GO BACK OR NOT
The Culture
NOTHING WAS ARRANGED SO I FELT ALONE A LOT OF THE TIME
IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE
NOT VERY APPEALING
ONLY WHEN PEOPLE LFET
