Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily tasks included producing a daily orderbook for the commercial team, completing quotations for customers and responding to any email enquiries. I was responsible for producing weekly orderbooks for key customers and also had monthly reports. Marketing tasks were also prominent as I was the main marketing employee at the site. I worked in the commercial office for most of the year, which prior to the pandemic had around 20+ employees full time.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility and was delegated tasks to complete independently. However, there was always support if I needed it.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I developed my Microsoft skills further, particular excel as this is probably the software I used the most. I learnt how to navigate Adobe InDesign which is a software we use for marketing tasks. Regular communication with customers allowed my communication skills to develop further.
