Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The first two weeks of each month focus heavily on forecasting, with the final week having a focus on financial reporting. On the day to day, standard business support will be required, such as updating excel files, but the major emphasis is managing delivery of projects. The role constantly changes however, with constant opportunities for growth.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At the beginning of the placement there was limited responsibility, however as the role has developed and my own skillset has grown, there has been a dramatic increase in responsibilities - having managed 5 projects over the course of my placement.
