    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt that was valued by my colleagues to the extent that I am still in contact with some of the people from the office and we meet up for social events.

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

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

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

    • I was given more responsibility than I expected as I was involved in lots of important client work and it felt like I was making important contributions to the team.

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

    • I think that the soft skills I learnt from the internship such as working with people in a team to achieve a common goal will help me in my degree later when I return to university.
