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

    • I feel that once they established that I had knowledge and I was competent they began to give me more and more responsible and important jobs, although some of the time jobs needed to be done; which I was more than happy to help out with.

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

    • my degree has given me a good knowledge of techniques, the marketplace and things which effect the market. This job allowed me to apply these to real world examples and put my degree into real world. This will allow me to now reverse that and take my occupational experience and apply to this to my degree to aid my understanding in my final year.
