Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

The responsibility given to myself from the brand shocked me at first, but over time I grew into the role and loved it! My team treated me from the off like an equal listening to my views and helping me implicate them not only in my gifting portfolio but within the brand as well. I feel having been opened to such responsibility will only benefit me later in my career progression.

My team was always there to guide when I was uncertain - which was important in the first 3 months of my internship. Moreover, all employees were happy to take 5 - 10mins out of their day to support if I needed it.
