Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was initially surprised that I was given responsibility quite early on in my role, but I was provided the training and support needed to do the job well. My managers are very supportive and this gave me the confidence that I could carry out my responsibilities to the standard required. All tasks have been explained well and I have been trained thoroughly to be able to deal with my responsibilities.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend The Walt Disney Company to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to The Walt Disney Company
My advice would be to be friendly and inquisitive in your interview. The interviewer isn't expecting you to know everything, but showing your willingness to learn and ask questions goes a long way. Likewise when you start the role, make notes and ask questions, it's the best way to learn and people will be willing to help you if you show you're enthusiastic and want to make the most of the opportunity.
