Work Placement Student Review

It has involved going round different job roles and getting a great understanding for what their job consists of by shadowing them and doing tasks they set me and this allows me to consider doing that job in the future. I also been doing tasks on the side which logs my time at the sage and skills I am improving and learning while here.

While I have been here, I have learn how to send well structed emails to people I've never spoke to which I never really had a chance to do. I've also improved my communication skills while here and just got a way better feeling for what a 9-5 job will be like which means I'm prepared for the future

I really enjoy my work experience here. The people around me are great to talk to and understand any problems I have , and even if I go somewhere else , people are always willing to help out. I also feel like I'm getting a lot from it and learning and improving skills everyday.

It has been well organised throughout and well structured with tasks to do most the time. Obviously there has been meeting cancelations , but that is one of the problems that comes with working in a business as big as Sage. Also , when I'm with different people , they have a good structure for what I will be getting on with.

A lot. I'm still trying to learn all the abbreviations that this business use on a day to day basis. I also got a feeling of what the work load may be like, and the times that you have to be in and out of the business which I didn't know before.

As I am still here , I'm still currently getting a feel for numerous peoples jobs in this business. So far , some have been interesting and I would consider them , but the roles that I have lined up to shadow are ones that I am most interested in and I feel I may chose one of these as my future career path.

No.

Yes, this is what I have been doing 70% of the time I have been here ; talking to new people in the business and getting my face around. I have been talking to people who are at the bottom of departments to the higher up ones who have a more 'important' role.

Yes

As for a job , I'm not 100% because I still don't have a thorough understand of a full time job , but if it was for work experience / work placement then definitely. As long as they use their time efficiently, you can get a great feel for different jobs in the business and what career you may want to pick in the future.

Using your time wisely and speak to as many people as possible no matter what role they have .I say this because there is so many people to talk to and so much too learn from all this people.
