    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I only went to an open day so I really can't comment on much. But at the end of the day was a business game, which was the first time I had done such a thing. I learnt a great deal in presenting and just working in a team in an environment that I was not used to.
