    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Over the year my responsibility grew immensely. The placements were the voice of the brand and first contact point for our clients. In the final few months I was given the responsibility to be supervisor for the online team and oversaw the day to day running of the online team.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

At the start of the placement we also recieved comprehesive training specific to our job roles and were also trained in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
