  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • It is great to get the experience in a professional workplace so early in my career. The salary is great for my age. It is also good to get a degree paid for. However I do generally find it all quite boring :)

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • There is minimal correlation between what I study at Uni and what I do for work. But the company I work with is very organised and a good company to work for, so that makes it not so bad. My current manager is also very helpful
