    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I got involved in real work in the office as soon as I arrived. I was put on a team that I would join as a graduate so it was great to get to know them both in and outside the office.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I most definitely did feel valued. The work I was doing was helping people with time pressures in the office which really made me feel valued and the team has kept in touch since I left the office.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • At times I felt a little lost during my time in the office as everyone was busy, however, each time I was given a piece of work people in my team would make effort to sit down with me and explain to me why it was important and how the piece fit into what we would be sending to clients before I started on the work.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The work came in 'ebbs and flows', at some points in the internship I was very busy (As I wanted to be), however, at other times I felt like a spare part in the office.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Much more than expected, although it was only with the supervision of the people in my team. I really did feel like the work I did was contributing to the final product we were giving to clients.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I'm going to be returning to the office after my degree so it has definitely changed how I will approach my degree and what I will write my dissertation on.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very friendly. Everyone in the office was incredibly intelligent and great teachers. They quickly made sure I was part of the team through nights out and getting to know me in the office.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I had to do two presentations whilst I was in the office which were very well set up and made me learn things that I wouldn't have otherwise known. However, at times, the day-to-day management of what I would be doing was a little manic.

    3/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • For the first 3 weeks, almost every day a member of the office would sit down with me and present to me so I could lean on their area of expertise.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Sports and Social Club

    National Travel

    3/5

  • Already heard back from them and I have a job!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Leeds is super cheap.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
