Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given full responsibility within my role with dealing with the deployment, availability and accessibility of all the virtual environments. I was able to contact clients directly and left to manage and deal with issues they may face alone; help was provided when I reached out to members of the team. The team and role gave me complete freedom in completing my day to day tasks and responsibilities allowing me to develop skills quickly.
