Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is support for my sales team which works for the EMEA Hewlett Packard Enterprise account. My general day to day involves supporting the team where I can to lighten their load, this could be completing some analysis for them or mainly approving their activities as they come into our tool.
Generally I approve activities, complete data analysis, merchandising and help with large events.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Gradually given responsibility as and when I was ready for it. Which meant by half way through my internship I was organizing Intel's participation in a large scale EMEA event. I am also responsible for our team's merchandise budget and approving activities for the team.
I would say I was given the same amount of responsibility as a full time employee would be given.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
When I started my intership my previous intern wasn't the best at training me but this is luck of the draw who trains you.

There's lots of optional training you can also get involved with.
