Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A lot of responsibilities were given during the internship. I was given full autonomy of a project that was up and coming and had many managers involved in this, thus my internship involved a lot of meetings with these managers where my input was well-received. I was also brought into meetings with other stakeholders, which allowed me to gain valuable insight into the business.
