  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Dependent on the area but on my rotations I had varying experiences. On the first one it was difficult as the desk was busy and the overall ambience of the desk was focused - the second one was amazing - lots of responsibility and lots to learn on the job.
