    4/5

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

    • Some days there were plenty of tasks to do and some there was nothing. For the latter, you have to show initiative and seek out work or do courses etc to get the most out of your placement

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

    • Learnt a lot about the office environment, working within and outside my department. Didn't learn a lot about the technical side but I learnt a load about the business and working for a large company. It was great preparation for the 'real world'

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Good apart from my IT took 2 weeks to set up, I was thrust upon my supervisor without him having any idea that he was to have an intern. Thankfully he was very good as he had been an intern not too long ago.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
