  • 3. To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
  • Work varies a lot from being extremely busy to being very chill. I prefer seasons of normal workload which sometimes you have to create for yourself either by delegating work or requesting for more work. I haven't good communication and negotiation skills as a result.
