All colleagues within my project and on the placement scheme treated me like I was important and valued
My manager was sat next to me and we worked very closely together to deliver the project on time
Very busy,most days was a challenge in time and work management however we were encouraged to leave at a reasonable time and enjoy the social side
I was entrusted with a large amount of responsibility and my tasks were imperative to the project being delivered on time
I learnt o improve my self-confidence and also witnessed first hands the highs and low of project management and business dynamics. I also learnt a whole new skill set of SQL server management studio in the 6 months
The Company
