The Role
One of the best years of my life!
Everyone treated me like a normal employee and my managers entrusted me with a lot of important responsibilities!
Constant support was available from management and there was a lot of guidance whenever necessary!
I learned to keep myself busy and prioritise my work so that i was busy enough to enjoy the workload!
I was always given a good amount of responsibility and was even given my own projects to run on multiple occasions!
Skills like time management, team work and self motivation is something that I will use for my university studies and afterwards in life!
