Overview of Role

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

Start on the project I am working on. If anyone in the team needs a comp check I will often volunteer, get given work by more senior members of the team.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I have been given more and more responsibilities as the placement has gone on, as the more my skills have improved the more tasks I have been given and its never gotten to the point where I feel overwhelmed.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I have developed a lot of new skills focusing around the QS role. One of which is time management, as I would have to balance multiple tasks and projects at the same time.
Another improved skill is attention to detail as I have done quite a few comp checks, and have caught a fair few mistakes.
