    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my year-long placement at Hays It was exactly what I expected a placement year to be like. You are challenged and put through a lot throughout the year all to come out on the other side as a professional. I have learned so much, met so many people and I believe this has been the right stepping stone of my career.
