Placement Student Testimonial

Name: John Bain
Organisation: Hewlett Packard
Degree: International Marketing

What were the highlights of your placement?

The highlights of my placement were the level of responsibility given to me, which was a huge challenge.

The challenge of the workload and the problem solving made every day a new challenge which made me enjoy my work more.

The charity work that students participated in was also great as not only did we get to raise money for a good cause, but socialise
with all the students while having a good time.

What skills have you learnt?

My skills have vastly developed in that I am able to communicate to others around me in order to get things done and have a clear
understanding of what the issue is.

I have also learned to prioritise my work and how to manage difficult situations effectively.

Through the intern placement, I have grown in knowledge and skills more than I predicted.
