Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In analytics you're working on the helpdesk, answering clients questions they have regarding the terminal. For this you get extensive training on the terminal half of the week for functions and anything else the terminal can do. For Sales, you have to do cold calls, calling clients telling them about new functions, booking meetings for account managers, that you sometimes get to attend.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, through cold calling and attending client visits, so you immediately have client interactions.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
