"I have had a great time working at ComRes. It was an exceptionally friendly atmosphere and I felt welcomed into the team immediately.  I was treated as a professional and was expected to carry out vital tasks on which the company depended. It was a fast learning curve! But I never felt over-burdened or under too much pressure. Being immersed in politics was great, and I learnt a lot about the way parliament works. This internship was just what I was looking for, being an exciting and fulfilling experience in itself, while also providing me with vital CV credentials"

"During my internship, I was surrounded by friendly and supportive colleagues, with whom I was able to build an excellent rapport. I was entrusted with a large amount of responsibility which meant that I always felt like a valued member of the team. The work was varied and challenging, and I enjoyed being part of such a fast-growing and successful company.  I was also given the opportunity to attend interesting events - including research launches and speeches by top politicians - at which I was able to make some interesting and useful contacts."

"My internship with ComRes was an unequivocally positive experience and extremely valuable to my professional development. Throughout my internship I worked on a variety of projects – from sampling the opinions of senior policy-makers, attending client meetings, through to writing reports, always with the encouragement and guidance of my colleagues. Working on high profile projects for household-name clients motivates you to perform your best, and the responsibility you are awarded as an intern is unique.
