The Role
Taking responsibility, as NHS does not treat you like a student.
Work colleagues are very helpful, without them I would not be sucessful in my placement.

60-70% of the the day was busy
I was given lots of responsiblity for example, dealing with all new candidates, issuing I.D. cards, making interview packs for recruitment managers, organising meetings and events.
I managed to compelted ECDL Course and minutes training course. Over 100 courses were available to me
