very well as it has taught me how to manage different projects at the same time
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
yes as far as i am aware there are lots of different extra-curricular activities available normally. obviously they arent just now because of the coronavirus pandemic
