Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received some support mostly from my buddy who is an Analyst and also from associates when they had time. However, I would have appreciated more guidance especially before a task was given so I clearly knew the expectations and way the person who assigned the task wants it to be done. This would limit mistakes made, expectations not being met or me having to make lots of changes that could have been avoided if more oversight/ support/guidance were given.
