    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Because it was finance I was busy at different times of the month, the first two weeks of the month were very busy contrasting with the second two which were a lot less busy so I was just doing ad hoc things.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Throughout the CSR activities we were given a lot of freedom and responsibility but in my role it was very structure especially in the first two weeks so I wasn’t given as much

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

    • I developed skills in excel and the skills of working in a corporate environment that will stay with me for life, including teamwork and leadership skills in some respects however some of the skills in my actual role are very specific to said role and therefore might not be very useful in my degree or what I choose to do as a career in the future.
