Overview of Role

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

I manage communications for the region, which includes; designing email templates, creating content and supporting regional leaders. I also plan and organise the quarterly events for up to 500 people.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of creative freedom and encouraged to come up with my own ideas and think outside the box.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I developed my attention to detail, check, double check and check again! Knowing that hundreds of people would be reading and viewing my content put a lot of pressure on me which meant that I triple checked everything.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

There was a month handover period between the existing and incoming Intern so I was provided with a lot of support. I was then introduced to a "buddy/mentor" and have a day to day manager as well as a line manager to go to when struggling.
