Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Horizon scanning, looking at what our competitors are doing, attending stakeholder meetings, preparing PowerPoints with data & information depending on the topic/task of the week, presenting PowerPoints to my manager, providing assistance with the Dream Day events, brainstorming with my teammates, reading and sending emails, coming up with ideas for the Dream Day event and later on creating reports after the Dream Day event.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In the beginning, learning the business and culture in Honda was vital for me to grasp the philosophy so I wasn't given a lot of responsibility. Additionally, my department was very new at the time (3 months old when I joined) but then later on my skills started to really kick off, so started I handing more work & responsibility day by day as I showed my capability, potential, and intellectual curiosity throughout projects and meetings.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

The Dream Day were inspiring and creative, I learned a new side of creativeness within the events that I have attended to.
