The Role
I had a great time. Worked with really nice people, in a friendly, exciting environment. Was given a lot of responsibility and interesting tasks and was made to feel an important member of the team.
Made to feel very welcome and valued. Will definitely stay in touch once internship is completed.
I was given lots of support and guidance. My employers were very approachable and always had time to talk me through things if I needed help. Also went out of their way to teach me things that will be useful for me in the future.
Always had a variety of things to be getting on with. Was specifically given a mix of projects designed to be useful to the organisation as well as interesting and useful to myself.
I was given a lot of responsibility during my placement. I was given a number of projects to oversee and was put in charge of writing briefs for a number of important marketing tasks.
During my time with Tourdust I have developed a number of skills and knowledge that will be hugely beneficial to my future career.
The Company
Lots of banter and a relaxed yet thorough approach to work. We all took it in turns to choose music during the day and that resulted in a lot of discussion and fun around music taste and opinion.
Well thought out and planned to ensure that I was useful to the organisation and my internship was useful to me.
Very much so. They tried very hard to ensure I was given training and experience in a number of useful fields. Also when I expressed an interest in something they trained me in that as well.
