    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • In the beginning , my manager gave me complete support and full guidance so that I could embrace my internship very well, and recommended me few training sessions for the projects which improved my it skills and moved from basic to intermediate, half way through the internship he gave me complete responsibilities to work on my project alone but whenever I would need help he would always provide me with it.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • On a normal day the shift would be for 8 hours but they were few days just before the deadlines where your stakeholders would expect your results a day in advance, those days I would work for more than 8 hours so it would go up to 11 sometimes.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a lot of responsibilities as the management team were observing if I could handle those responsibilities with great honor and hence I took pride in doing my work properly as I wanted to impress my manager with my skills go to them whenever I needed help but try and produce the right work what they expect.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Well, the skills I developed in my internship would definitely help in my career ahead and in my life not so much in my degree as they firm I worked in is completely different from the degree I am learning but these skills are generic and transferrable as well.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • the general atmosphere in my office would be warm, friendly, people on the phone talking to clients or with people in their team across the globe. Beautiful view from my desk, and working next to your manager makes you feel quiet responsible.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I think the credit for the overall internship set up goes to the HR Recruiting Team in Bournemouth as they made a brilliant timetable for our 10 week internship where we were given a flavor of both work & our usual day to day lives, which I would say made the internship so good and efficient.

    4/5

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