  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It was extremely intense at first as I got to grips with the role, however as I became used to it I was able to put myself forward and get involved with much more, in what is an extremely fast paced environment.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • There are core tasks that are central to the role such as tracking sales figures and analysing the market using the data that is provided. The more I put myself forward for the more I was trusted to carry out tasks such as presenting to customers at range reviews or journalists at press shows.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • One thing I’ve become sure of is that I see a future career in the SDA industry for myself and this is down to the great experiences that I’ve had over the past year. The exposure that I’ve had whether that be presenting in front of major retailers or attending various events has given me the confidence and the determination to succeed.
