    The Role

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

    • My internship at Intel has offered me some of the best exposure possible globally for a company of this size. Being a global role, lets you experience the different cultures of business from all aspects of the planet.

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

    • As with most jobs, some colleagues couldn't have survived the year without your help. However, others offer no comment.

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

    • Guidance is avaliable, however, isn't offered on a plate. This allows you to develop yourself off your own hard work, but also the option of your manager to give you some space when needed.

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

    • Being a member of a global team, I have had to work extended hours. Saying this, having the role I have here, has caused me to learn and devlop vastly. Small price to pay, considering how much you learn.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Varies task to task, some jobs would have fallen short without my help. However, others I had a more consulting role. The sense of achievement when you successfully complete a "running the show" task is amazing, and offer great content for your CV.

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

    • University is great, however some things cannot be taught, but learnt from expereince. My placemnet has offered this in bundles.
