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 support a variety of teams as well as lead on a few of my own tasks. On top of this I support the culture team as well as volunteer for a charity called SPARK mentoring young kids.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

The amount of responsibility you are given will always depend on who your manager is and the work currently going on. Majority of the time in my experience I was a support function however I do know other people who were able to lead on a few projects.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
