Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily I operate out of salesforce, managing cases and sales forecast actions. Also time spent hunting on the phone for new business. Other projects I've been involved in are with marketing and applied AI.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At the beginning I was given a lot more, in other business units as well. Now we have a harder team goal so time has been spent on this

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I have recieved a lot of support and guidance from other managers and members of the Medical team, however my manager isnt based locally and has been disengaged throughout the year. In future I would like a more hands on manager.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
At the beginning it was far more exciting, havig wider esponsabilities and seemingly the drive from my manager to help support other areas of the business, I felt I would develop a lot more skills. Towards the end there is less direction and inclusivity, I dont find the role stimulating intellectually and would need something more so in future
