    The Role

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

    • I loved the variety of my job, the responsiblities I was given and the way I was allowed to completely make the job my own and do things the way I wanted. Obviously there were days that I didn;t enjoy it as much but overall it has been brilliant.

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

    • I really felt that ,ost of the time my colleagues listened to me and valued my input. However I think that in any placement job there are going to be times when the placement student isn't always included due to their lack of experience

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The team I have worked with have been very supportive, I haven;t always taken full advantage of this support but any time I have needed help they are always willing to lend a hand

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

    • I have been rushed off my feet the majority of the year. Sometimes I feel like the job has taken over my life, but I would mucj prefer this than to be doing nothing all of the time.

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

    • I was left to do my job how I wished, but there was always help when I needed it. Towards the end along with the other placement student, we planned and pulled off the bifggest marketing event of the year for all of our key contacts

    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 have become more confident, considerate and willing to give and take. Not only have I learnt job skills, but life skills

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I work in a very busy department, so it wasn't totally that organised, but I think the best way of learning is being thrown in at the deep end - which I certainly was!!

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
