    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • It is up to the individual to make the most of the internship. My colleagues were very helpful if I was stuck and were good at sharing knowledge. Mostly, you are left to complete the work yourself and you can get help if you require it. You are responsible for all correspondence and completing the assigned work
