Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I rotated round the different areas of HR so my daily tasks changed all the time. Some of my work was shadowing and attending meetings, but I was often involved in work that the team I was with did. This included emailing people, ringing people, designing comms and newsletters, data analysis on Excel and more.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In some teams I was given quite a lot of responsibility, whereas in others I was not given as much. It is difficult in HR because they are handling delicate situations, but when I was able to be given responsibility and ownership, I was.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
