Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
There were to two and a half weeks of initial training about general tasks that the team does (e.g. reserving, pricing etc.) and then we were assigned to real, client projects. I completed a scenario risk-modelling task, in which I carried out every task involved from the initial stages to the writing of the report at the end. I received a lot of assistance from fellow team members when I encountered difficulties. My day-to-day tasks involved Excel and also Word for the writing of the report.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given two client projects to complete mostly by myself but was able to receive help from more experienced members of the team when I stuck on a specific issue.
