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

    • The great nature of all the other employees and people I worked with was really taken for granted. Looking back I couldn't have been treated any better.

    5/5

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

    • I got very busy very quickly - which I really enjoyed as i didnt want a year of twiddling my thumbs. If ever I wanted more work it was always available.

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

    • I was given alot of responsibility within the accounts I worked on. Especially after i requested to have more - the business really reacted and gave me something substansial.

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

    • The experience will be invaluable. I know what areas of business I love, hate and would want to work in at some point in the future. My degree will also benefit from the experience.

    5/5
