    The Role

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

    • I loved my time here. Was the first internship I have done and it was a good experience. Great atmosphere in the office.

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

    • I wasn't given meaningless work -- it seemed they valued my position in the time which was good to see.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was great, offering me the support when I needed it. My team would answer any questions I had which made it easier to get to grips with things.

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

    • Not too busy -- but I think near the start I would take longer to do stuff and it would seem like I was really busy. Nearer the end though, I think I got the hand of it and there was a good balance of work.

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

    • At the start, not much, but this was understandable. As the internship progressed, though, I was given more and more responsibility which was nice.

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

    • I think these skills will help me greatly in my professional life.

    • Very well organised I would say. I enjoyed my time here.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
