Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Answering calls and emails from candidates. Pushing them through the recruitment process eg screening video interviews or booking them onto Assessment Centres etc
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given more as the Graduate equivalent of my role left around January and as I had experience with the client I naturally adopted a higher responsibility role. This isn't always the case for CES' and before January, my responsibility was very limited and less enjoyable.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I was able to develop my excel skills as you have to pull lots of reports to organise candidates. I learnt so much about working in a professional environment - the office has a very positive atmosphere which allowed me to feel comfortable about asking questions and ultimately allowed me to grow massively.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was lots of support and guidance. I grew into my role massively and that was down to my manager who was a pleasure to work under. I couldn't have asked for a better team so I would definitely say there was an abundance of support and guidance!

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I loved my placement because of the growth I have seen in myself as a person. The job itself can get tedious at times but as I said, I was lucky enough to take on more responsibility which definitely helped me enjoy my job more. I have learnt so much about the working world it truly has been an insightful experience.
