    The Role

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

    • The placement was enjoyable. I liked the people, the project as a whole was very interesting. Slight downside is that I was unable to be fully integrated into some aspects of the project as I did not have the experience, which is justified in reality as I was only interning.

    • The first day was misorganised and for the rest of the internship, whatever you did was at the disgression of your manager. I enjoyed that however as it gave a lot more freedom in the role.
