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

    • I was working 7 hours a day and sometimes, I took the initiative to get involved in new projects, new solutions and activities which could take me one more hour. However, I enjoy the time spent at the office as it has a lot of facilities to rest, relax and socialise with your colleagues.

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

    • I have improved my interpersonal, communication and teamwork skills. I consider these abilities will help me in my degree studies to work on projects with my colleagues and deliver presentations. Furthermore, I have improved my time management skills and thus, during my undergraduate studies I will organise my time more productively.
