Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day-to-day responsibilities involve supporting the teams you are working on; this can be varied depending on the type of project you are involved in but, generally, it involves aiding the rest of the team in anything that they need. For example, creating and editing deliverables for clients and helping to track the teams’ actions, blockers and priorities to ensure they are all working towards their set deadlines.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
During my placement, from the beginning I was given lots of responsibility. However, I was support to feel like I wasn't taking on too much. I feel very lucky to have been able to have such a wide variety of projects and roles during my placement year, which covers lots of client facing roles as wells internal roles.
