Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
es, I was given a good amount of responsibility during my placement. As I became more familiar with the role, my responsibilities grew, and I was trusted with larger projects and more independent tasks. I always had support when I needed it, but over time I was increasingly encouraged to take initiative and manage work more autonomously. This gradual progression helped me build confidence and develop my skills in a meaningful way
