  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Management were always pushing my abilities and allowing me to go on courses in order to progress my abilities as far as possible. Nothing was too much of an ask.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The workload can vary massively throughout the year, dependant on the time of month and the projects that were going on. I was continually asking for more work so it would be rare that I was sat there with nothing to do.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Due to my manager leaving I feel that my responsibility was high, I was doing my best to ensure that despite not having a manager the ball wasn't dropped on any on-going projects. This therefore gained me trust within the team and I feel I was given more responsibility.
