    The Role

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

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

    • I was given interview and CV writing tips by my assigned partner, particularly relating to BP's own internship programme and graduate programme. He also gave me invaluable informations about applying to other sectors.

    • The day was broken up nicely, and had a good balance of work and play if you like.

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

    • Not a massive amount of responsibility was given but then none was really expected as it was a work shadow day.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Even though it was only for a single day , I picked up a lot of valuable information - and I plan to use BP as a case study in various assignments this year.

    5/5

    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Pay and conditions are well above market average within BP and prospects for graduates are very positive , I will consider applying to their graduate programme as a result of this day

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?

    • The interns we were with all got on very well , mainly as they were living with each other and socialised with each other. Senior members of tsaff treated interns as if they were permanent full time members of staff

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

    • Aberdeen is more expensive than say Glasgow, but is cheaper than London so 5/10 for this/

    • Cant really comment on this as only there for a day.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The interns had various social activities planned ranging from night out in Aberdeen but also mountain biking, mountain climbing etc - so a really good mixture to appeal to all.
