Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis, my role usually involves updating media within the company intranets, planning for engagement campaigns, writing articles for the bulletin, creating videos/infographics, running presentations and conversing with employees.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I would say my level of responsibilities were handled very well. Towards the start of the placement, it was minimal and it gradually built until I'm confident to say I could be left alone and I would know everything that needs to be done.

Despite interviewing for the placement prior to COVID-19, unaware that I would be working from my bedroom throughout the duration of my internship; I have had a very ideal time and made lots of connections.
