Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received support and guidance form team members and managers on various tasks throughout my placement.
Multiple occasions arrived where little support was provided, even when asked for.
There were also times where the expectation was to support other team members on their tasks, whilst carrying out my own tasks

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Whilst I was very much looking forward to my placement opportunity, I perhaps did not enjoy my experience as much as I had hoped to.
