  • 1. Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
  • It was a little challenging however it was the best experience I had last year ! I met new people and learned a lot about the company ! It was a once in a. Life opportunity! They should take on more programmes for other students like myself as it will be very educating as well and will also boost their self esteem as well as their communication skills.
