  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Treated equally to graduates and other new starters by most colleagues and managers. You will be given plenty of responsibility and most managers have been very helpful and understanding in explaining how everything works. I felt very out of my depth to begin with but you will get used to the work quickly and there is always support.
