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

    • Lack of managerial support through 7 months of my placement means my enjoyment was pretty low for those months. Once I had a competent manager, my enjoyment vastly increased.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Depends on the colleague, my first manager didn't value me at all, but my second one did. I also worked with Sales and Marketing alot, where I felt very valued.
