Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working 9-5 with time split in varying amounts between intern business project (working together with other interns to solve a business problem), self-led learning (both technical skills and methods of working), and placement work (i.e. shadowing, joining team calls, receiving talks and completing tasks for your manager). There is also regularly spotlight talks, social activities, volunteering and a chance to network yourself.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given many tasks to do independently for my placement work, but all were checked over before being published widely. Also, had the responsibility of managing my time myself and being sensible with breaks and getting work done.
