  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It took some time at the beginning to really get stuck into work but once I was assigned to a project, I was never bored again. The good thing is that there was a lot of Business Development work around to do so even in your free time, you can find things to do.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • It obviously takes time until people start trusting you. Once my colleagues saw what I am capable off, I was given jobs that were previously done by associates.
