  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I have been given a full time job whilst at Vauxhall which is fantastic..it's not photocopying or coffee making! I have been given a lot of work and projects to lead so it has been hectic at times but I'd prefer that then have nothing to do.

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

    • I didn't expect to be given so much responsibility. It was daunting to start with I have loved running so many projects and organising events that represent the company. They really trust you which is great!
