    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Despite there being a lot of opportunities for it, I wasn’t given much responsibility during my placement. My manager changed a few times, so it took a while to build a relationship with the new managers where they trusted my skills and work.
