Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Collating data and creating reports about them in a way that is more interpretable by the team and anyone who needs to use it. Mine was more focused on OPEX and the spend of the UK & IRL teams on their company cards
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was able to manage a small area of the business and also the reports that I prepared went straight to management and didn't need to be checked by my manager first.
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 support whenever I needed it. Our placement coordinator was great especially when I needed to take time off for bereavement. The coordinator and my team were very understanding at this time and I was able to take the time off when I needed it.
Aside from that my manager helped direct me to places where I could develop my knowledge, like excel skills.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Johnson & Johnson
To apply even if you don't feel you have the skills, then place more emphasis on you as a person as long as they believe they can train you up to be able to do the role. Also to get involved in many other things other than the role to make the most out of it, there are plenty of opportunities for any interests
