    The Role

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

    • It has been fantastic! The work has been challenging, but there is always someone there to support you. Also with so much going on outside of your day to day job, there is no shortage of opportunities to get involved.

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

    • The open door policy within TJX extends to everyone, whether work related, curiosity based or personal, there is literally no one that you can't go and talk to if you have a question. As well as this the team I was based in made me feel extremely welcome, right from Day 1.

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

    • The support offered has been great. You can work freely knowing that if you have a problem there is someone to talk to, but equally having the confidence to make decisions for yourself.

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

    • The balance of work was appropriate, allowing me to take on more when I needed to and equally delegate work during the busier times.

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

    • My responsibility increased gradually as my experience and knowledge grew, until ultimately I was making real decisions about projects and my time was completely my own to organise.

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

    • The training provided developed not only your skills for the role, but interpersonal skills also. It allowed you to gain a deeper understanding of your strengths and weaknesses and how to improve.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Great atmosphere, everyone was really friendly!

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • From start to finish everything was well organised and if you had any questions the placement coordinator was always on hand.

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

    • They invested a lot, with great amounts of training both internally and external. Also took part in the Times Graduate Challenge.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • International Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Future prospects are very appealing and I aim to return after finishing my degree.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The placements and graduates all socialise together, as you would expect. But team nights out are another opportunity to get to know your colleagues.

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

    • The cost of living was fine where I lived. Renting a house between 3 was actually cheaper than just getting a room at university.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife was okay, but with London so close there was always somewhere to go if that's what you're looking for.

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

    • Tons of opportunities were available outside of work.
