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

    • Your responsibility is objective orientated you are just short of running the show on most projects as many of the jobs involved are critical and necessary to be completed to a high standard. This allows you to take part in decision making as part of your role and effectively trains you to manage projects both short and long term. Near the end of the placement, you tend to be given more projects and roles that will allow you effectively run the project.
