    The Role

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

    • this placement was really great, very hard work a huge learning curve, but you get out of it what you put in, be willing to learn from both the experiences you enjoy and also the ones you struggle with

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • as there were quite a number of assistants who started together and as the pressure was very much on at the time of starting, your work was valued, for those who are permanently in the studio i fell it must have been difficult to get to know assistants very well when everyone had so much work to do, so therefore it was valued but on a very professional level
