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

    • I was very busy for most of the internship. However, there were a few days when I had little or no work to do. However, due to the fact that I was working directly with my managers it was easy for me to find additional bits of work to do.

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

    • I was given a sufficient level of responsibility. Within both of the teams that I worked for (Consultancy Quality Assurance & Project Managment) I had a large bit of work along with another bit of work that I would recive on a day by day basis

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

    • Although I can not take back any hard knowledge to my geography degree studies. This job has given me the necessary insight into an industry which I hope to work in following university and has helped me improve my organisational skills drastically.
