  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Generally had a lot to do and a good balance. A few days I felt a bit overworked, this was primarily due to long distance journeys going to clients that were far away, extending the day by a couple of hours.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given far more responsibility than I would expect for an intern to get, this was very encouraging and added a lot of value to the internship.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Business knowledge will be very valuable for the business module's I take as part of my degree, I think my work ethic will be better over my degree. I have gained valuable business experience and know that I would like to work in this area now.
