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

    • Even if I don't go into Marketing in the future, I've leant so many life skills that I wouldn't have learnt otherwise.

    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If I wanted to go into Telecommunications in the future then I would definitely apply for the organisation again but not the same division.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Many of the placement students when out every weekend, if that's not your scene you end up feeling a bit left out. If it is, then you're in for a treat!

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • With rent and commuting costs deducted from the months salary - not much was left. Be prepared to budget!

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Always something going on!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • It depends whether you go looking for them or not.
