    The Role

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

    • From an internship perspective i have been intergrating into the workplace like any other kind of hire, treated the same as any other hire and expected to work as hard and professional as everyone else.

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

    • This internship has changed my career approach and has shown me that you should get to know as much about the company as you can instead of staying in your department.
