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

    • Some days were a lot busier than others, in the first few weeks of my placement there was hardly nothing to do, because the managers were very busy in their own projects. My responsibility grew over time and I has a routine of certain tasks I needed to do for weekly meetings.

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

    • I feel that the skills that I have learnt in this placement can be used and transferred in the future and it was extremely helpful for me getting into the industry. When you have experience with a well-known and reputable company I found getting job interviews for bigger companies A LOT more easily than it was when I had to apply for placements even against the competition. These skills can help pave the way for my future profession and I can go in many different industries.
