Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day for me as intern is mostly reading more about the company policy. I mostly did research and reading because the role requires experienced professionals and as an intern there wasn’t much I could do other than learn and read about the business. There were a few presentations I gave to manager but that was it.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not at all, again that’s because the role works on projects that are year long and as an intern there isn’t much I can do. The job literally hires people with years of experience
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
