    The Role

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

    • I didnt feel like it was a placement, I felt like a valuable member of the team. However I would have enjoyed it more if there was more development in terms of and industrial scheme. Scheme beingthe operative word. i felt like I was just working there for a year which was good, but there was very little input from HR
