Overview of Role

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

I did project work so every day was different. Due to the nature of my team I did not do any of the core functions of the team. My normal day was 9-5 with maybe 3-4 meetings and mainly individual work for example on a project or a presentation I was doing

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes I was totally in charge of a project I did and for a presentation I did I did about 75% of the work.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
