Abhinav was consistently responsive, however, the quality and accuracy of the deliverables did not align with the expectations outlined at the beginning of the project. Despite expressing prior experience in both SEO and content creation, there were clear gaps in his understanding particularly around SEO fundamentals and repeated failure to follow detailed instructions and brand guidelines. Unfortunately, this placement ended up being a waste of time. Approximately 80% of the content he produced cannot be used due to inaccuracies, irrelevance, and brand misalignment. Additionally, because he chose not to use the recommended platform, all content now needs to be manually recreated from scratch to ensure quality and consistency. Overall, while his communication was appreciated, the outcome of the placement did not reflect the level of professionalism or effort expected.
Custom Questions
  • Q1 - Text short
    What notable qualities or skills did the student demonstrate throughout the project?
    This is a difficult question to answer given the challenges with the project. However, if I had to highlight something, I’d say the student maintained a positive attitude and was consistently in contact throughout the placement.
  • Q2 - Text short
    How did the student engage with stakeholders during the project?
    The student used the Rippen platform, however, he did not check in frequently to ensure he was on track. He would reach out to say he was done everything, and then be upset when writer would provide him feedback that he didn't follow the instructions.
  • Q3 - Text short
    Did the student effectively manage their time and meet project deadlines? If so, how? If not, what areas could they improve in?
    From my perspective, it seemed that he rushed through the entire project. Areas for improvement include taking accountability, being open to feedback, and avoiding the assumption that you know best. Unfortunately, it felt like the student was more focused on producing content according to his own preferences rather than following the writer’s specific requests.
