Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Lots of personal freedom, including the opportunity to set the course and direction of my own project. Less responsibility in terms of being given tasks of significance to the business.
