The Role
I loved every minute of it, they gave me a huge amount of different opportunities.
I felt like part of the team within weeks.
Everyone was there to help me out whenever I asked a question.
There wasn't a day in my placement where I wasn't busy.
I was given a lot of responsibility but it was all monitored by my manager in case I needed any help.
I feel that I have used a lot of skill my degree has taught me as well as a lot of new skills that I can take back to uni with me.
The Company
The office was a great atmosphere all the time witch really helped me to get work completed.
The placement was organised with only a few issues letting it down.
I have completed a course as well as going on a few site visits.
If I did get offered a job at the end of my placement I would seriously consider it.
The Culture
All the placement students were a laugh and there were plenty of us to go out after work.
It is fairly cheap for the south.
In the center of Southampton there are plenty of clubs.
There are plenty of opportunities if you ask around.
