  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The amount of work I was doing each day was well balanced even though it could vary a bit depending on the day. I was given slowly more and more tasks during the first month of my internship, as I was getting to know the job. During the summer holydays period the activity of the company was quite calm so there was less work to do which aloud me to work on different topic.
