    The Role

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

    5/5

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

    • I felt I was given the right amount of responsibility. It is hard in 6 weeks to really gain a deep understanding of a project, but I felt my previous experience at the company helped me learn quickly what was required.
