Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I mainly helped with pulling together a database for the new GVLMS system, which meant I was using excel to filter through a sheet of SAP entities. If there wasn't something for me to do on this project then I was helping with archiving and organisation of the surrounding office.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a lot of responsibility by being brought onto the GVLMS project
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
