Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
When assigned to a project, I would develop certain parts of a ServiceNow application based on given requirements. Attend any meetings regarding the projects and update the team of any important information. When not assigned to projects, I would do some self learning on different parts of the ServiceNow platform which I have limited experience with. Communicate and consult with the customer of anything that is needed.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given many responsibilities during my placement. Development was the most important responsibility as certain requirements were given a deadline in order to present to the customer. Responsibilities away from customer projects were also given which you have to make time for.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
The training programme provided me with many new skills necessary to operate and develop applications using ServiceNow. The instructors taught me well enough where I can pass different exams for ServiceNow which allowed me to be certified to work with the platform. It also developed my existing skills and knowledge learned from my experience studying Computer Science at university; this included database table design skills and programming languages best practices.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Computacenter to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Computacenter
My main advice is to be more open to talking to other and asking for help. Project managers would need to be updated regularly to ensure certain tasks are on track. Speak up when you are stuck on task, the reason for this is to not delay parts of development.
