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

    • I had a sufficient amount of work to do, and if there was ever a moment I had no work to do I was able to speak to the team around me and easily ask to help with whatever they were doing.

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

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

    • My skills were hugely developed within tax, prior to the internship I had little knowledge of the processes I would be helping out with day to day and now I feel confident I could assist throughout the process.
