    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • To the extent that you can work a 12 hour day and not notice or mind at all.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Very Valued. All colleagues will wish to interact with you and value your opinion and contribution.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • There is a clear pathway for training and development with enjoyable training days out with interns from across the country. It is vital to maintain ownership of your desk/ ledger as you are given less guidance,and more personal responsibility.

    4/5

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

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • A great deal. From day one you are handed real responsibilities which develop and grow throughout the placement. An intern can share just as much responsibility as an Associate and therefore develop their desk just as well.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My interpersonal, organizational, and IT skills have improved dramatically. The learning curve is steep but every day became more enjoyable as my understanding of the recruitment cycle and industries grew.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Upbeat, Always a warm environment.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very organised. Each intern is always made aware of training or meetings which they need to attend.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Three days of training in the heart of central London with interns from across the country is supported by numerous web seminars at lunch throughout the year. Arguably the most important training takes place with the managers and senior consultants working on your floor. This provides a huge insight insight for each trainee to the company, the recruitment industry, and best-practice. . Hearing from the best people in your business is very inspiring and offers the opportunity to see which techniques and approaches suit your own style of work.
