Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was a member of the network delivery team, and my main role in the team was to create automation tools using Python to streamline the workflow of my team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
After a couple of months of learning how my team operated I was able to quickly develop tools to help them significantly and I have been treated as just another member of my team rather than just a random intern
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Teamwork/communication - significantly different (better) environment to any group assignments done during university. Having people in your team who you can count on and learn from is brilliant

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend JLR to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to JLR
I had applied for so many placements during my second year and so many of them were an absolute pain to get through and often the effort you put into your application was completely ignored or rejected. The JLR application process in comparison is no where near as time consuming or painful and in my experience they got back to me on the results of the previous round quickly
