We will be posting the competition winners through this blog each week, so make sure you visit us again soon!

…..Charlene Matthewman from Leeds Met University. Following a review of her placement at Carnegie Faculty of Sport and Education, congratulations Charlene you are this weeks winner!

We caught up with Charlene to find out a little bit more about our competition winner.

What will you spend your £50 Amazon vouchers on?

“I think that I will spend my £50 on something that I can use when I go on holiday abroad. Obviously I’ll need lots of sun cream!”

What are your careers plans for the future now that you are finishing your placement?

“In the future I would like to widen my experience by working in central communications in a large company. I’m also keeping my eye out for new projects in Leeds and would love to work for Leeds City Council to get involved in their marketing and events team.”

Top placement tip:

“My top tip would be to make sure that you get yourself involved with what is happening in the office. You can sometimes feel a little bit left out as your colleagues are getting on with their work. Make sure that you are heard; not by shouting!”

Why did you decide to review your placement?

“I reviewed my placement as I wanted to let other students know what they may be facing when starting their new placement role. Everyone’s experience is different and I hope that anyone that reads my review will help them in some way.”

Well done for writing a great review Charlene! Happy spending! To read the winning review, please click here.
