    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • 8am-6pm everyday. That's ok but it will be hard to find some time to chill out during these hours.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I did three internships and this was the place where I had the biggest responsabilities : projects, presentations, clients meetings. If you have a good idea of improvement and you can convince the business managers, they will implement it asap.
