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

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

    • I think the work balance was very good, as with any job there are times where everything grinds to a halt as something is waited on. That said, that didnt occur too often, however as I got to the end of the placement a few things did build up and were left as outstanding. My manager did not appear to be too concerned about this and instead congratulated me on the work I had achieved.
