    The Company

    • I was in a regional office so there were a lot less staff than there would be in other offices. Because of this I felt like everyone knew one another and the atmosphere was very friendly and sociable.

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

    • I was given a timetable at the start of my internship that I stuck to for the 8 weeks. I was also assigned a different mentor for each week for each different client. This timetable remained the same throughout my internship and it was very well organised.
