  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As the year went on I gained more responsibilities for example at the beginning I supported a member of the department with some training and as time went on I did training on my own. I liked the fact I was given tasks to do myself but knew that when needed there was always someone who would help me if I was struggling with it.

  • This could certainly be improved. HR planned loads of great activities for the interns but on a project basis more activity days could be held outside of work.
