    The Role

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

    • Manager was very smart and understanding. She was willing to give me high profile tasks once I completed my assigned tasks.

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

    • Extremely busy co-workers. Yet, whenever I had the smallest need of help, they never showed as if they were busy. They were very respectful and treated me their equals despite there being a 20 year age and experience difference.

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

    • Very forthcoming and helpful. I was very lucky to be guided by my manager.

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

    • The onus was on me how I want my day to be. I was given freedom to work on what I wanted to and develop various connections.

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

    • It was perfect. I had aspired for high profile tasks and once I proved myself, my manager did not hesitate to give me important planning tasks. Her guidance during this, made me more confident that I could take on bigger roles in the future to come.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have probably learnt more in these two months of internship than my last 2 years of university. My learning was immense and was all because of an exceptional internship program planning. The onus was on me to take as much as I could. Learning included elements beyond the technical set, it included professionalism(my first work experience, all till this was in school and university), language, different culture(from India to UK), leadership grooming, etc

    5/5

    4/5

    • From induction to end of internship party- flawless.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

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

    2/5

    • Every friday night - "ooo sometimes, I get a good feeling".

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I took on Salsa, Boxing, Tennis coaching and Gymming. Would have also wanted to try fencing but could not due to the center being closed at the time.
