    The Role

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

    • Excellent. Office location was great, London is great.

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

    • Very, they took the time to take me out and really teach me the basics.

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

    • Loads! Manager sits opposite me and really takes the time to show me what he's doing. We've also had a chat every couple of weeks to make sure I'm getting on and if there's anything I'd like to do/ do more of.

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

    • I had enough work that I was never out of work but never too much that I was forced to stay late unless I wanted to.

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

    • A lot. I've now handled my own client (someone went away and I picked it up), you are always in control of your own workload and you take the responsibility of sourcing work and performing.

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

    • Not sure as of yet because I'm not back at uni. I definitely feel I've developed my ability to present and convey ideas.

    5/5
