    The Role

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

    • The people I worked with really made my internship enjoyable. Sometimes the tasks I was doing could feel a bit repetitive but with no experience in accounting I wouldn't have expected anything else.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Really nice people to work with.

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

    • Everybody was really kind and if I had a question they were always willing to answer it. Never made to feel bad if I didn't understand what I was meant to be doing!

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

    • Sometimes there wasn't any work that I could do, so I spent my time looking up things which I thought would help me in my final interview.

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

    • All the work I was doing was simple but it needed to be done and nobody else repeated the work I did.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Certainly very useful as I have been offered a graduate job for when I finish university so everything I learnt while I was there I will use then. Wouldn't say that what I learnt would help me with my degree.

    5/5

    The Culture
