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

    • I work in the events side of the business, so my work was generally ad-hoc with very few monthly and daily routines. However when it came to event time it was very busy and i liked being pushed to work to a time limit.

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

    • The department i worked in were always busy so projects were given to me to manage by myself which was great. It was daunting at first but i thrived off the experience and the outcome of my work was great.
