Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The perfect amount of support was provided throughout the internship, from training to the actual projects themselves.
My manager was incredibly supportive and helpful, even when working from home she was quick to respond and we frequently set up calls if I needed any help.
This guidance also wasn't too much as management allowed me to have to opportunity to grow through my own experiences, allowing me to try things first and if I couldn't complete things they would be there to help!
