Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I work largely in the competitor field so I spend my time collecting information on what products and claims competitors may be making in order to help us know which areas are becoming popular and to focus on.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given tasks and left to complete them in order to work on my problem solving and ability to take initiative. Since it is a relatively short placement I wasn't given an enormous amount of responsibility but I felt I had a respectable amount of control and responsibility on the aspects I did work on.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I received an enormous amount of support from my line manager and coworkers alike. Even workers that were not directly in my team were always willing to lend a hand. Many were past placement students so that helped aid the welcoming environment.
