Overview of Role

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

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes. I was given large amounts of responsibility over the projects I was working on. I had the responsibility to ensure development remained on track, and was given large input into the direction of the development of these projects.
