    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Had responsibility on first project as a primary developer of the code and was given the most to do on the project. In the second project have taken on a more secondary role to learn and develop more. Have also been able to do individual training and learn about less conventional areas - e.g. writing a client proposal.
