    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I was sat with a great supervisor who made me feel welcome, wanted and appreciated at all times. I really enjoyed it! My placement with the client was a little less enjoyable however as they weren't as welcoming.

    4/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • A lot! I learnt that Taylor Wessing is a brilliant firm - everyone is treated equally and valued equally and that is essential. I know that whatever one chooses to do at Taylor Wessing they will be valued and supported.

    4/5
