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

    • I was given fairly significant levels of responsiblity (within reason). During the first few weeks, the internship was focused more upon learning about how to operate the various tools used by the team most effectively. However, after this, team members were happy to give me greater levels of responsibility.
