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

    • At the start of my placement year around the first 2 months I dont get really busy, It was more of a learning curve, around my 3rd month was when I started getting lots of duties getting lots of project work and getting more involved in different areas of dutie. On daily basis it cant be really busy in terms of spacing time for your project work as well other daily task you have to do, also attending meetings etc It can get very busy.
