    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility as I was working in a small team. Help was available if required, but problem solving was encouraged. The responsibility did build throughout the year, starting with basic day-to-day tasks and increasing as I became more confident with the skills I had been developing. It felt like the right amount of responsibility for me, and I felt I could ask for more or less if required.
