Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day basis, I interview and recruit potential candidates, help them with the onboarding process, liase directly with Universities regarding their specific needs and check in with students to gain an understanding about how their support is going on.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility within the first few months of my placement. At first this was daunting and challenging, however I believe it was integral to my growth and development as a professional. It taught me how to be more organized and how to manage my time more efficiently
