    The Role

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

    • Enjoyed the last 5 weeks a lot more than the first 5

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Split between 2 rotations, first rotation felt like I didn't add any value at all, so therefore didn't feel valued by team, completely the opposite on second rotation

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

    • On the first rotation only spoke to my line manager on about 3 occasions, with only getting feedback after finishing. On the second rotation got continuous feedback, much better.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • First rotation was very bored, second rotation was given a lot to do, much better.

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

    • First rotation given stuff to do just to keep me busy, whereas on 2nd rotation actually given work to do that needed doing.

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

    • Despite not enjoying the first rotation I still recognise the fact I probably developed a lot of skills during that time.
