Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I did training for a week and a half and then I worked on projects for the rest of the 6 weeks. The daily work I did was lots of making graphs on excel and formatting papers
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I worked on live projects, some internal and some with actual clients. So there was quite a bit of responsibility as your work was actually used, but of course it was thoroughly checked.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
