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

    • It varied depending on the client and how far along the team were on the project. In the beginning I was very busy as it look me longer to complete tasks as I was unfamiliar with the processes but nearer the end of the placement I was completing tasks very quickly and had less to get on with. However, it was limited what I could assist with, as I had little accounting knowledge so I was given all the jobs possible for the skills that I had.
