Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have had responsibilities to maintain my template formats and keep accruals up to date by contacting suppliers and central managers. I have had support where needed but have been left to keep these updated and chase anything that is old down. If I was to put the amount of responsibility I had on a scale I'd give it a 6/10 as I was never overly responsible and there was always checks to my work

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Effective communication is definitely a skill which I have improved drastically in. I have also learnt how to better integrate into a team and find my place within a team where I can share my opinions but also respect the chain of command. I have developed my organizational skills as the workplace can be fast paced and forever changing which has made having clear plans and clear evidence of email chains etc very important to succeed.
