    5/5

    4/5
  • 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 was given just the right amount of work - enough work to keep me occupied, but not too much. My colleagues made sure I always had something to do, so I could get the most out of my time there.

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

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility during my time at Deloitte. For the first few days, I was given some relatively simple ad-hoc tasks to complete. After I had settled into the firm, my colleagues had given me more important tasks to do.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The portfolio of professional skills I've developed will prove to be extremely valuable useful in the future, for example, my time management, multi-tasking and team working skills.
