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

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

    • Pretty much responsibility during the year. I had to produce weekly & monthly reports that directly contribute to the leadership meetings and informed them of the latest trends. Had to manage SharePoint myself and ensure it is always up to date.

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

    • Most of the skills concerning Excel, SQL and others are pretty transferrable to other roles and industries, so surely will help me in the future. Interpersonal skills are extremely useful not only for career but for daily life also.
