  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • we had monthly volumes so during the course of the month the volumes would peak and then drop off, and then peak again etc so some days were quiet and others really busy but I never struggled with workloads.

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

    • at the start because you have no knowledge someone sits with you, but the more you learn the more independent you become. By the end of the placement I had full responsibility and would sometimes run the team on my own.
