…..Dave Chapman from Bournemouth University following a review of his placement at GE Money Home Lending, congratulations Dave you are this weeks winner!

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

What will you spend your £50 Amazon vouchers on?

“Well, as I will be starting my final year of Uni in a month or so it will come in very handy for that Java book I’ll be needing!”

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

“Well, I can honestly say that my placement was life changing in regards to my career plan. After the experience I’ve been able to achieve, I now plan on moving forward as a junior Project Manager to hopefully further my knowledge of Project Management and progress into a full time Project Manager role.”

Top placement tip:

“I think my top tip for placement students is to really stretch yourself, and seek further opportunities to gain more experience and good exposure to the business. Your placement is what you make of it and it is a great chance to gain some invaluable experience so push yourself to get the most out of the great opportunity you’ve been given!”

Why did you decide to review your placement?

“I think that having a placement is a great chance to get some brilliant experience in a real world environment and part of what can make and shape your future is where you do that placement. I felt my placement was brilliant, and I think that anyone that can get the opportunity to be a part of GE will get some great training and experience, as well as meet some great people and learn a lot about a large corporate company environment.”

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