    The Role

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

    • At the start, the work was challenging, and you had to learn quickly, but this added to the excitement of the job

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

    • All my work colleagues trusted me to do the tasks that my previous undergraduate did, and therefore that makes you feel useful and valued

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

    • Any questions I asked my manager were answered immediately, and have helped me fulfill my duties on placement

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

    • There was a lot of work, but if you manage your time well, then you have no problems at all

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

    • I was responsible for all the running applications within the department, and so if anything went wrong, it was down to me. When the other members of the department were on holiday, I was in full control, and this is quite a responsible job

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

    • I have definitely developed my skills, and I can carry out projects a lot quicker now, than I could have 12 months ago

    5/5

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I believe there are good opportunities within certain departments, but not all departments

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yeah, we would all meet and chill with friends. Good atmosphere

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

    • It was reasonably cheap in Luton, but most of the time, we would end up further afield, making it slightly more expensive

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There is only one place in Luton....Liquid. To be honest, its not the greatest place to party, but it cold be worse

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yeah, you can pretty much go anywhere on the train from Luton, so there are plenty of things to do if you know where to look and go

    4/5
