The Role
It has been very rewarding in terms of helping me with my degree and building up contacts, who have helped with some subjects I have struggled with this year.
My line manager was very professional, but at the same time very friendly and outgoing.
There could have been more work, however, I appreciate that the recession had kicked in and so work load was slowing down and there was only so much I could assist a professional with as I was not fully qualified.
I learnt how to use some software programs, also the roles of various professionals within the company/industry.
