Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working in project teams to help clients solve people-related problems and implement people-related solutions. Your day-to-day activities will vary depending on your project and mainly included:
- Participating in both client and internal meetings
- Conducting research and analysing data to develop commercially sound recommendations
- Writing elements of reports, presentations and other deliverables
- Completing project management tasks
- Sharing your ideas and taking on real responsibility
- Talking to people in different areas of the business to better understand what they do
- Asking questions
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
well i think a month is a bit short to be given that a significant amount of responsibility especially because the first few weeks were reserved for training. With that being said i still think i received a good amount of work to do (not just filler work but impactful and useful work that my team and the client really appreciated). so overall i would say yes i received a decent amount of responsibility during my time
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
- definitely developed my PowerPoint skills significantly past what i was sued to
- i also had to flex a lot of my soft skills when dealing with clients and even my colleagues for example being proactive, curious and always ready to learn
- it is also quite a fast pace environment where deliverables have to come out in a timely fashion so my time management definitely improved to allow me to get things done on time and also prioritize as needed
