    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed my placement quite a lot, it was also rather busy and there was loads to do. We were given the same responsibilities as everyone else and not just made to make cup of teas or file paper work!

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

    • I felt reasonably valued by colleagues, I fit in quite easily and got along with them really well. They were always on hand to answer any questions I needed to ask.

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

    • I received quite a lot of help by the management team, I also got help from the other colleagues as well, not just the management team.

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

    • Our branch was quite busy on a day-to-day basis so there was always something to do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given the same responsibility as my other fellow colleagues, one bit as a time as there was a lot to learn.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • They will help relatively well in my studies and degree. It has increased my confidence and self knowledge and given me a lot of work-related knowledge I could possibly apply to future jobs.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • very well organised, training set out clearly and was given several tasks to be completed in certain weeks.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I feel the company invested in me a lot, I was given the same responsibilities, perks and pay as other colleagues at my level and I also got given the same time as everyone else. There was never a time I felt lesser than my colleagues.

    5/5

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • It was okay, I knew quite a few colleagues before beginning so it was quite social for me in terms of conversation.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living is very high in the area I work in but it is rather sociable and there is a large social scene around the town

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife was fairly busy on weekends, lots to do for everyone including nightclubs, bars or just restaurants for a meal out.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Down to the individuals choice but there are a lot of chance to do so.
