Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I support the finance team for one of the marketing teams - it is different day-to-day but across a month it is quite similar. There is monthly forecasting and FP&A, but also one-off requests from marketing team to see their spend figures in a certain way. There are also meetings with people in different teams to network and learn more about other roles.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Perhaps not as much as I'd have liked - I didn't have any tasks that I owned and repeated as needed, instead I would be given different tasks as and when my manager/team needed.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes - I have completed a course on Excel and then also practiced using Excel practically every day, so I am much better at this now. You also mainly develop your soft skills: things like how to communicate in an office, networking, and more.

I really enjoyed my time - as a company, it is a very enjoyable place to work. The only thing I'd have changed for me personally would be to have a bit more responsibility.
