    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given more responsibility as i demonstrated reliability and a strong attention to detail. I began to 'own' tasks from start to finish such as managing the upload of assets online. Being given that ownership not only helped me build confidence but also allowed me to develop stronger problem solving and project management skills.
