    The Role

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

    • Slow at the start and slight confusion to what my job role entailed to begin with. However I really grasped my main duties after only a couple of weeks. Also working on site over 2 different shows in September was brilliant and not only gave me a great insight into the events but i've also had the opportunity to get to know some really great member of the team too.
