Overview of Role

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

Day to day I'd take on the creative side of the marketing roles, creating and posting social media posts, making infographics, and using illustrator and other adobe applications. I would also plan company and charity events, occasionally make YouTube videos for their channel and undertake data cleansing tasks.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I couldn't believe how much responsibility I was given - there is complete trust in the placements to undertake significant tasks! My manager was always extremely supportive.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

We were given three weeks of training in the first month where I learnt all about what CRM is and how to use it best, as well as developing other skills such as presentation skills and groupwork. Over the course of this placement I have become a lot more confident in many areas, especially my ability to work individually.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I was supported incredibly well during my time at ProspectSoft. We would have 1-1s with our managers every month where we could discuss anything we wanted to work on or ask any questions and get help. My manager was always there whenever I had a question, making sure I completely understood everything.

Everyone was extremely friendly and we had a few socials which brought everyone in the company together which gave a very friendly and fun atmosphere. There is always pizza and beer Fridays which are also a great way to end the week with everyone!
