The Role
I'd say 85%. There were always a lot to be done - partly because I always asked for work. Also, my team was always on hand to help. I was always given the chance to meet new people and go out and meet clients. The work itself was very interesting and so I would definitely recommend this!!
Very valued actually. There were lots of responsibilities handed over to me and my work was really appreciated by the team. People were always there to support me
The Company
In the general scheme of things - I feel my skills developed will be more useful at the work place than on my degree. Mainly because most of them are technical skills but the soft skills such as presentation, multitasking, working under pressure, teamplaying, etc will be applicable anywhere.
