Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Worked as an intern in the Tyl team. Daily routine consisted of joining team calls, working on admin tasks, and working on a bigger project (drafting an operating manual).
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Overall, I did not have a huge amount of responsibility as I was not given many tasks that the team was counting on me for on a regular basis. My greatest responsibility was to make progress on a large team project, which I worked on throughout the duration of my internship.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot. My manager was very helpful and my team was very warm and open to helping me, as well as providing me with learning opportunities. It also really helped to have a grad buddy, as this was someone I could easily consult as well. Early Careers were also really useful, especially at the start of my internship, when I was having tech issues.
