Management Intern Review

I enjoyed my job most days with really lovely people both in the partnership and suppliers i spoke to daily, however i am not sure if its a job i want after i leave university - will just have to wait and see :)

I got on with nearly 100% of the people who i worked with or was around. It was definitely a strong highlight in the job.

This was probably the only bad point i could really criticise over my placement period as the management i had was not of real a supportive nature. Most of the time this worked well for me as i prefer indepedence to do my job, however support once in a while would have been preferrable.

Rest was definitely not part of this job description which in a way made this job so unique and hardly ever boring.

I shared responsibility for nearly all parts of the job with my boss holding the other areas, however in most cases we were either sharing the load and i solely took some projects on.

This placement has definitely increased my confidence, making me acknowledge what a huge part i can play in the business environment. I am really proud of my accomplishments this year :)

The atmosphere changed depending on when in the week you were in the office. Some days it was extremely quiet and other days it was fun but you couldnt get any peace.

This was an extremely great experience as a job, however it was not really structured as a placement in the sense of training or seeing other areas of the company etc. I was there to do the job at hand rather than for personal development.

As mentioned above this was a weak part of the placement as the job required so much attention, there was not much time for personal development.

It was a great opportunity and experience this year, however i need time to think about whether it is the future career that i want after university.

There were not a large number of placement students but those that were there were a good laugh and helped make this placement more enjoyable.

The salary was not bad for a placement, however i lived an hour away from where i worked so i did not socialise in London very often but when i did it was quite expensive, but it was worth it.There were not a large number of placement students but those that were there were a good laugh and helped make this placement more enjoyable.

It was in London so of course the nightlife was awesome.The salary was not bad for a placement, however i lived an hour away from where i worked so i did not socialise in London very often but when i did it was quite expensive, but it was worth it.

John Lewis gives an ample oppotunity for outside activities but only works if you take advantage of it, which i was not great at.It was in London so of course the nightlife was awesome.
