Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role involved maintaining and communicating day to day with buyers within the industry. Building reports internally to record performance as well as working with internal stakeholders on different projects.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given the responsibility to look after an account on my own. Therefore I was given the responsibility to let the business know how they are performing in weekly calls as well as being the main point of communication with the buyer.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
