Shadow a Female Leader Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the insight and all of the team were very approachable and helpful.

I felt that the team were appreciative of my contributions, although it was only a short insight (1 week).

The team were always happy to answer my questions and provide guidance on any task that I was undertaking.

This experience has given me a real insight into the working environment. Whilst not directly related to my degree (Biochemistry), I built upon many transferable skills such as organisation, research and report writing.

The week was very well structured and was outlined to me at the beginning of the week. I always felt engaged in something interesting.

There was a fantastic atmosphere in the office during my insight and it was a pleasure to work in such an environment.

I was provided with my own laptop and logon, stationery and desk. The team were well prepared for my placement.

The team treated me like a full-time member of staff and the working environment was very professional but at the same time maintained a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The top priority was clearly customer satisfaction whilst still highly valuing employees.

My experience has confirmed that this is my career choice.

I was paid an appropriate rate.

During the week I visited several clients and interacted with other areas of the company. The company also has a strong focus on social networking and has their own social networking site which provides many opportunites for meeting other people from the company.

As I was only there for a week, there were not many of these opportunities but on my final day at the company we went out for dinner and some drinks, which I thoroughly enjoyed and was a perfect end to my week.

Yes the intranet for the company contained much detail on opportunities and events for staff outside of work.

Having thoroughly enjoyed myself, I would highly recommend this insight to a friend.
