Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Every week I'll have a list of jobs to complete and over a day I will swap between these tasks prioritising different tasks when necessary. These tasks will be sorting through data, data labelling, generating insights from the data, and making decks.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given more support than I felt was needed at times which made it difficult for me to feel as though I had massive amounts of responsibility but as the year has gone on I have been given more responsibility over my work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

What advice would you give to others applying to NBCUniversal
Try your hardest in your application but also have fun, I made a joke in mine and still got the role. For the video interview be relaxed and carry that through the recruitment process.
