Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Me and my team have a catch-up meeting every morning where each team members share what they did, what they will do and any problems that they are facing. I have both long-term ongoing projects that I develop and maintain throughout my internship. I also have weekly or daily shorter tasks such as creating dashboards for other teams or creating workflows and user guides. With these tasks and projects, I will have regular meetings where we discuss requirements and ask additional questions along the way.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibilities. I was in charge of many projects and was given tasks regularly. The team would always ask whether I have enough work or too much work. It felt like I was a part of the team and was truly working in their projects. I was in charge of a crucial project where I needed to create a system that teams from all over the world use.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have gained plenty of new experiences and skills. I have learnt the business process and how each department relate to each other in my company. I have also developed my communication, presentation and team working skills through meetings and projects. Moreover, my technical skills such as coding (SQL, JavaScript, DAX) or using Excel, have also improved massively. The placement year taught me both in the business and the technical side.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend NBCUniversal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to NBCUniversal
It is important to not be too stressed and be true to yourselves. The company is really welcoming and are always open to new suggestions. In terms of technical skills, it is required to only have the basic understanding, but the most important factor is to be willing to learn new things and adapt to new projects/working environments because there will always be opportunities to engage in many different projects during the placement year.
