Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My placement involved assisting the Technical Sales team and the Enablement team. This would include a number of key tasks including organising events, meetings, preparing senior leaders for client meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yeah supporting a key senior leader came with lots of responsibilities in several areas. Each day was always different which was brilliant because I had the chance to work on various different projects throughout my internship.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
