    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Direct line manager was often very busy or out of the office so one-on-one meetings were limited, however, there are a number of other senior supervisors within my team who I could go to for help.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I have my list of standard reporting I run but a large part of my role is ad-hoc based. This meant sometimes I would be really busy and other times I would have more free time. Always something to get on with.
