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

    • I would say at times I was given “too much” responsibility in the fact that some jobs I took on should have been carried out by a manager. But I took this as a compliment that I was trusted with such important tasks.

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