5/5

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

I was working in a branch that deals heavily with corporate accounts therefore we were always busy. However, it has helped me gain transferable skills which I will carry forward in my business career.

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

Each employee is given a large amount of responsibility on a daily basis which can help you to work towards targets, rewards and bonuses. There is always a lot of support even though each employee has a large amount of reponsibility, from running the daily car fleet to dealing with customers.

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

I have developed many transferable skills which I can carry with me for my business career in the future. I have learned a lot about myself, how I deal with many situations and customers. Time management and organisational skills have been crutial for this placement and these skills will stay for life.
