    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Initially I was really looking forward to the internship, however having no prior knowledge of the business meant that I was a bit apprehensive about what would be expected of me particularly in regards to the amount of work and level of work that I would be expected to carry out. However, within a few days I realised that I was not being asked to do anything beyond my capabilities and I found the whole experience really enjoyable.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
