The Role
Enjoyable introduction to work life
Felt very valued, shown by the fact I was given my own projects to run
Given support and guidance throughout the year, but predominatly when I began my placement
varied depending on project completion dates and quarterly result dates. On avergae busy about 60% of the time
given my own projects to run. was left to get on with them without being checked up on all teh time
will be of help in my final year of university and in my future work life
