    The Role

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

    • The work I was given was very varied and I did not have to do the same routine tasks every day. I was given responsibility from early on which made me feel more valued by the team. I also built up good relationships with my boss and the rest of the rail team and really enjoyed working the people in my office.

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

    • How busy I was varied on throughout the year. Some days/weeks I could be very busy if there was a deadline to meet, project to finish but other times there were less time pressures. There was always something that needed completing and sometimes I had to take my own initiative without being told exactly what to do.

    • I was given full projects to manage, for example organizing events and completing the re-vamp of our website.
