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

    • I work with another intern on my project and report directly to my manager. My manager gave me a large extent of responsibilities and few restrictions on the way I wish to do my work. I contact many senior people across the departments and my work will be handover to others after my intern.
