Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Weekly tasks were set by my project manager, aligned with what the team were working on. I had online and in-person meetings 3 times a week, and I often spent time in calls with remote / other location-based employees, as well as conversations with those in the office who offered me technical support and guidance.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility, and did a lot of independent work. Support was always available, and my work was checked over.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
