    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Honestly, the responsibility that I was given way way beyond my expectations. In my role the intern was extremely important to the team as if I didn't complete my tasks then no one else in my team could do theirs. This was a huge responsibility as the team were dependent on you and every task you completed came with pressure.
