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

    • During my placement I believe I was given considerable responsibility, however not too much to make me feel out of my depth. This included being assigned jobs to do such as ringing customers before their reservation to confirm bookings and remind the customer of what documents they need to bring.

    • The whole process of the internship was extremely organized. Firstly, the recruitment process for the internship was very organized and included three different stages - telephone interview, head office interview and branch visit.

Also I could say Enterprise was great in providing me with sales experience, which is something I am keen to develop and have not previously had the chance.
