Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I would complete assigned tasks involving assessing a client's accounts. Typically this would be lead schedules or an early review of the accounts document. I'd have to attend relevant meetings with the team and/or client. I also had the opportunity to work at Canary Wharf, where a client is based, for a few days.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, all completed work contributed to helping actual clients, and I was able to work with one client in person for an extended period.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
