    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • It very much depended on the person, in the beginning of my internship I had a really supportive manager who gave me lots of guidance and encouragement, part way through my task manager changed and I didn't get as my support, they were less interested in my career journey. I also had a foundation manager, I personally would not say she was very supportive, if I ever wanted anything it would always come from me, she never reached out to check in, we could easily go months without speaking...
