Overview of Role

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

I was responsible for migrating company data from a legacy system to an updated system. Day-to-day I would interact with my immediate team as well as software engineers to execute a bespoke migration tool in order to transfer data securely.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given the responsibility to be solely responsible for migrating entire projects. This allowed me to improve on my individual workflow and gain efficiencies to complete migrations quickly.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

I have learnt how to build meaningful relationships with my colleagues in an online space. The entirety of my internship was done working from home so I had to adapt to this new style of working. I also had to present internally and externally which built on my public speaking skills.
