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

    • The ability yo prioritize my work load was one of the things i felt i learn t the most during this placement year. I learnt how to manage your own workload and in what order you have to have it done dependedent on deadlines and importance. These are some of the things they dont teach you when you are at University but you learn once you have gotten yourself into the world of work.
