    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • At first i was eased into the process as i still required a lot of training and my team were extremely new and still implementing processes. However, by the end i have become in charge of producing reports, spearheading projects and also trusted by senior team members for ad hoc requests.
