    4/5

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Rarely set specific deadlines so had the responsibility to effectively manage my own time. Not too much responsibility as work was always reviewed at every stage so was never working on a final copy.

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

    • This will contribute a small amount to the degree I am studying but it was more a valuable insight into my future career and was a fantastic opportunity to get an idea of the tasks I would be doing on a day to day basis.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Obviously it was a hard working environment where people are often very busy so it was no party. However all colleagues were very sociable so it is easy to have some 'banter'. Also social events were organised almost every week I

    • Very well paid, many social events (all paid for), job opportunity after graduation, a lot of time spent assisting us on a day to day basis.

    • Sports and Social Club
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Chance to apply for a job when the placement is finished to go into after graduation. Can apply for deferred entry so there is opportunity to go travelling before hand, application for job goes straight to partner interview so you don't have to go through the whole application process again.
