Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Return to standard projects, operational daily tasks, performance tracking.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes a significant amount of responsibility, for the most of the placement you are treated as indifferently as a student than anyone else with experience would be. This comes with its costs and benefits and responsibility is definitely attributed to this, however this can vary by function.
