  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It was tough; definitely not for the faint hearted, and I realised that you really need to want to be there and like what you do in order to go far with it. There were several ups and downs, but plenty of support was at hand, and I was very well looked-after.
