Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I attend meetings with my team that I was placed into - specialist customer care. The meetings discuss efficiencies in customer care, service levels and complaints. Alongside that I am working on a project to improve service levels so I look over and analyze forecast data.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a large amount of responsibility as I helped create slideshows for meetings with hundreds of attendees and created emails to be sent out to the whole office which was an exciting opportunity and I was glad to be given those roles as it made me more confident and driven to produce better results.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
