Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

During my placement I had the opportunity of working within a Product marketing role and also a role within global communication strategy. Day to day, I would work on important tasks and partake in meetings with senior members of staff. I would also attend in person events across the UK.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Within my placement I was given way more responsibility than I expected. I was treated as a valued member of the team and picked up high level tasks.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

The amount of support and guidance I received was down to me not really needing it. When I required it, it was always there, and there was never a problem getting it instantly. However I always tried to sort things out myself first before looking for guidance.
