Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Sat in on team meetings, kept up to date with team activities. Worked on an individually lead project alongside additional small tasks that required training of company procedure and systems.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
To begin with my responsibilities were in line with my knowledge. Attempts were made to increase the responsibilities available for me to take on but ultimately felt underworked.
