The Role
Very much so - interesting and given a huge amount of responsibility and client exposure
Highly valued
Advised on what to do, question asking is encouraged
Most days I had full days. Some I had very little/none to do, but these were rare (and mostly unavoidable)
As much as realistically possible, given the lack of experience I can offer a client
Not specifically related to my degree, but will help with future employment, and developing general professional skills
The Company
Friendly and relaxed
Very well
We were given plenty of training, and if we were interested we could attend any sessions we liked
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
The placement made me sure I want to work for them full time after graduating
The Culture
Very good social atmosphere
Commuted from home
Very good
Lots!
