    The Role

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

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

    • I received invaluable advice from various employees about what to expect from a career in project management and as a non-cognate applicant how best to approach obtaining a career in the sector. Whilst I was give responsibility on the internship, I never felt overwhelmed and employees made sure I understood the task before I undertook it.

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

    • As a non-cognate I could not be given a huge amount of responsibility as I didn't have the relevant theoretical or conceptual knowledge. However, they trusted me to undertake various tasks on different projects which were really interesting and enabled me to feel that I was contributing to the team's efforts.

    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 internship was a great experience, I learnt key business skills and gained a great insight into the industry which has confirmed to me that this is a career I would like to pursue. Jones Lang LaSalle is a great firm and made me feel very welcome.
