Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an On Air Intern, my role was split between the Presentation Scheduling team and the Continuity/Navigation team. Tasks include creating strategic schedules for A+E channels, checking voice over artist scripts, listening to voiceovers, creating excel graphic plans. Day to day tasks also include attending meetings and liaising with other departments.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At A+E Networks, placement students are given equal responsibility and opportunity as other employees. I felt this role equipped me with many skills which will be useful when finding a job after University.
