Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The day-to-day work was usually related to reporting, data or presentations. On top of this there were usually ad hoc tasks from my manager that differed greatly in difficulty and length.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was definitely given a lot of responsibility over tasks very early on, but as my placement was conducted virtually due to the pandemic there are likely other opportunities that I was not able to take part in.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
