Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as an intern was to learn as much as I can about the firm and the business.
A day-to-day involves following up on emails, networking with other interns and colleagues to develop my experience within the firm.
I was working on projects like creating and delivering presentations, and opening myself up to new experiences to continue to build my network.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given several responsibilities throughout my internship- more so the responsibility for myself to continue develop my skills and taking a proactive approach in this.
I couldn't work with clients as much as I would have preferred but it is understandable given the sensitivity of information.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
