    The Role

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

    • This internship wasn't very enjoyable. My team did not give me that much work and I spent a lot of time doing nothing. Additionally, the work I was given was often very boring and required little brain capacity.

    2/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues often failed to get back to me on work I sent them, and often forgot to follow up on work I had been doing for them. Additionally, many of my colleagues were quite critical of me.
