As a Summer Analyst in Global Fraud Management Operations I supported team members with various tasks such as updating the daily stock of cases that needed to be handled, organizing information in spreadsheets and contributing to weekly investigation guidance meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The tasks I was assigned were to some degree critical for the team's daily function. However, they were pretty straighforward.
