    The Role

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

    • The city was incredible and the work vibe was really great. The involvement was okay during the busy time. However, at times no one had time to give me guidance or tasks and other times there was nothing to do. It was less engaging than I would have liked.
