I currently work at the same company I completed my Professional Placement Year at whilst I was completing my course at Newcastle University. During my initial interview process, I was greatly supported by my course professors and the leads of the Professional Placement programme. They had given us an extensive list of companies and career paths people who take my course tend to follow and were always available if I needed to review my CV or complete interview prep. Due to their support, I had received 3 offers to complete a Professional Placement year and was lucky enough to go on to work at GSK during the 2022/23 academic year. My success and achievements in my placement year contributed to me developing a close relationship with my managers and colleagues who had then continued to support me following returning back to Newcastle University to complete my degree, and then recommended me for a Quality Process Monitoring Role at the GSK Barnard Castle Site where I currently work now.
