    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I enjoyed it a lot, due to my love for Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm franchises. However, that is not the main reason as I learnt how an international company works and what office life is like. I learn new skills and made lots of connections.

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

    • I get relied on a lot to collate information as well as use of my skills which others may not have. Therefore, felt needed in order for some to do their tasks.

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

    • A lot of support from supervisors and if they were not available, others were happy to help and give me guidance.

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

    • Some days will be busier than others. Working with different markets which have different holidays can be interesting as that can effect how busy you will be.

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

    • High responsibility. I was treated as a normal employee therefore had the same level of responsibility.
