The Role
Was very enjoyable with everyone being extremely friendly
Everyone was very friendly and grateful for my contribution. Made me feel important within the team.
Met with counsellor many times which offered me guidance and support. Everyone I worked with also offered support.
Was fully booked on clients for the whole internship so was busy every day.
Given a good amount for my inexperience - left to carry out tasks with clients on my own.
Will be able to take the skills I learnt into the future jobs. Excel skills will be extremely useful.
The Company
Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Very organised and knew where I was going/what I was doing before hand.
Had IT training and provided counsellors to ensure we could develop and meet our objectives
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Have a graduate job.
The Culture
Majority of people went to all the social events and organised a night out.
Not very much
Broad street has good nightlife.
Could have joined the netball team
