Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Most of my days are spent either fixing bugs with a customers solution or implementing new functionality to meet given customer requirements. I use SQL and C# on a daily basis and often work with others from the company to find a solution. I have lots of communication with the customers as they report the issues and give us the requirements.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given a good amount of responsibility during my placement as I have had a large amount of autonomy and worked on key areas that could have caused huge issues if I wasn't careful.
