Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a summer analyst in the sales team, I took on the role as a sales support. This includes supporting the sales people in their daily tasks. For example, you would react to client request by sending them the information they require, you would participate in client meetings and perform various tasks within the team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, where it is possible, I was given responsibility. Also, the more you ask for it, the more you get.
