Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day was always different you'll have some core work but it was mainly what your team needed that week and what projects you worked on, every month of my placement had whole new challenges I needed to think about, but just so you understand if you're interested in the role it's very much an office job with a lot of collaboration
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility early on which is great because you grow a lot more that way, your manager and team is always there to support you if you're unsure or are dealing with new things but you're very much put in the position to lead
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
