  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • In my first role I was organising the really high profile billing system for a large scale media client, without me doing my job there were Christmas TV shows which wouldn't have been shown! I could not believe how much responsibility I was given at times. I was also responsible for organising business trips and team events remotely and for senior staff.

    • I am so much more IT capable than I was before and these skills are really useful in everyday life and will help me throughout life for sure!
