The Role
I really enjoyed my placement. The opportunity to work at the Olympics was once in a life time and if it hadn't been for this placement I wouldn't have been able to do that. Great experience.
My team welcomed me with open arms and I felt like a very valued member of the team
Nothing was ever an problem and they supported me vastly in work and with difficult times away from family.
Almost always had enough work to get on with
I had a few projects and a lot of responsibility in regards to data management
Great insight into McDonald's leading to now being a trainee business manager
