    4/5

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • We received lots of support and guidance from the pair of girls who organised the event, and at no point felt lost or helpless.

    5/5

    • The days were very busy, though there was enough varied activities to prevent boredom.

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

    • We weren't given that much responsibility, and although that was a shame, I understand it was hard to incorporate responsibility in the scenario we were in.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The understanding of how the industry works will assist me in my degree studies, and my own hunger for knowledge. The tips and advice on recruitment processes will help me reach the job I desire in the future.

    4/5

    The Company
