    The Role

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

    • This placement was so enjoyable that the thought of going back to University was something I would often put off.

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

    • Nestle treats everyone like one of the team. If you do a placement with them, you arent classed as a placement student, you are classed as a full time member of the team with the same level of responsibilities.

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

    • Due to the strict processes Nestle follows with regards an employees growth through the system, I had regular meetings with a mentor to make sure that I was happy with the work which I was doing. They also take an interest in how you are coping away from home etc.

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

    • The work load was pretty sparse on occasion because the HR work is very specific; however, I was given quite a few projects to manage and take the lead on which took up a lot of my time.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • As the placement students are treated like standard employees my responsibility was high. As I was in a HR role, I had a high level of access which resulted in my need to be extremely confidential.

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

    • The work I did at Nestle was unrelated to my university topic; however, in terms of a work life experience I have learnt a lot about myself and my ability to function in the 'real' world.
