    The Role

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

    • A highly enjoyable placement, as I'm sure has been said about this company before, work hard, play hard. A very young company with a great atmosphere.

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

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

    • I felt I was well supported by the company and never once had an issue with management, which I would rate highly.

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

    • Obviously golf travel is a seasonal business and so it varied but during the less busy sales times you are still working on projects and such, which provided a good amount of variety

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

    • I felt I was given a responsible role and supported well, perhaps unfortunate timing with Corporate events and a recession! I also felt supported by management in a pretty responsible role.

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

    • I would highly reccommend a placement to anyone and would hihgly reccommend a placement at Golfbreaks.com.
