Overview
The day to day of my role changed greatly depending on the time of year, but consistently was a good mix between structured and self led work. There were a diverse range of projects I got to work on meaning my days varied quite a lot, but had a mix of team meetings and dedicated time for projects and then quieter periods where I could self lead my own work.
Skills
I have learnt and developed my personal and technical skills a lot during my placement. Mainly, my communication and leadership skills have improved and I have built on my team work and organisation skills. I have also gained an insight into the workplace and specific processes developing my technical knowledge around recruitment/HR.
Responsibilities
I was given more responsibility than I ever expected during my placement year. I have been given various projects to work on and have had the continued support of my manager to lead and take responsibility for outcomes.
Support & Guidance
I received excellent support and guidance during my placement year, especially as I was working in a small team and therefore got lots of 1-2-1 support. My manager helped me not only with technical queries/job-specific questions but also with areas where I could develop my personal skills.
Culture
Everyone was very welcoming when I joined which made me feel like part of the company and made it easier to settle in. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone in my team and have always been supported when I have asked/needed it. There was also a big early careers community on the site I joined which was great, but I had to make an effort to make friends as people are all in different buildings.
Your Impressions
I loved my placement year and have gained invaluable experience working here. I feel much more prepared to tackle the graduate careers space and now have a better idea of where I would like to go in the future. I鈥檝e also developed my personal skills greatly and have grown in confidence as the year has gone on.
Yes
Take time to throughly research the role that you are applying for and tailoring your CV to match the requirements. Ensure that you know what the site you are applying for specialises in and where applicable, see if there are graduate opportunities for people in your role afterwards.
