    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Absolutely fantastic experience! Everyone was incredibly attentive, helpful and friendly. I greatly enjoyed the experience conributing to work and was pleasantly surprised as I had expected to spend more time shadowing.

    5/5

  • 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)?
  • Adam Morton, my people manager was incredibly attentive. He was prompt to reply to any queries I had. He gave detailed responses and was proactive in consistently checking I was managing on clients sites.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There was no pressure to get more work done, colleagues were very helpful with what I was set. They were also able to give more work on request.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I think the "I was running the show!" comment is misleading. The jobs did entail responsibility, however, the environment was safe since the work done was always checked by a senior member of staff. I was encouraged to speak to the clients but team members were happy to accompany me if I did not feel comfortable going on my own.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Both in terms of job specific skills and wider skills of networking, building and maintaining relationships both with staff and clients.

    5/5
