The Role
The placement has been great. The year has flown by, we have been constantly busy and been given so much responsibility.
One of the best elements of the placement was meeting so many different people in all the different sections of the business. What was great to see is that everyone cares very much about their job. I felt particularly valued during store time as you are detrimental to the running of the store.
This is definitely the best part of the placement. It was scary to begin with the amount of responsibility I was given, however It has taught me a lot personally and professionally.
I think the experience gained during the year will be so valuable going back into my final year at university.
