Overview of Role

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

Gathering the work from students in the Contour department and creating social media posts/videos to help promote the Universit course. Create posters and hand-outs fro open days. Research into how to best promote the course, as well as setting up and being apart of open days.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a vast amount of responsibility due to the role I played for our social media. As well as speaking and acting as a model student dueing open days. I also gave a presentation the four year groups for social media content creating, with the leacturers having no role within this.

Social media managering and social skills have increased due to the creation of posts, and talking with upcoming students/parents during open days.
