    The Role

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

    • It was challenging in parts, I had to learn how to figure out the best way of doing things. This took me a while but now I feel much more independant in my decisions and confidence in decisions. This makes me feel I really improved myself and makes me reflect in a positive way on my placement.

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

    • Very helpful, very good support network of buddies, managers, my line managers and everyone in the office was there to support and guide me. My line manager gave me a lot of independance but also was great whenever I needed her.
