    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Was placed with some great people Wasn't too keen on the area, a long distance away from home

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • There are some unchallenging tasks that need to be done by someone and that someone is you. When working on the more challenging tasks you are a key part of the team, I sometimes worried how smoothly things would go when I went on holiday.

    • Management always had time to explain things to me and give me opportunities to expand my knowledge
