Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In an average day I will have a short meeting with my manager or buddy they ensure I have everything I need for the day and resolve blockers. I will then go about my tasks ensuring I complete any work required. I will also attend scheduled meetings and also take time to develop myself with sessions on skills.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I would say too much for an intern as the project was large and little guidance was provided on how this should be conducted
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
