    The Role

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

    • It was a great company to work for with all the perks and other great employees. However, the job itself wasn't the most exciting and could be very repetitive.

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

    • This depends on how operational the role you are delegated is. Some jobs require lots of constant work for many hours, others are much more relaxed.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You get a very decent amount of responsibility very early on which forces your to learn quickly.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • One specific example I would give is my excel skills went from basic to very advanced during this placement, a skill I will have for life.

    4/5
