Overview of Role

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

The role involves setting up pricing on the system as well as managing orders so they go through at intended price. Another element is verifying overcharge claims and looking at how they can be prevented moving forward to ensure the customer is billed correctly.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

As my team was comprised of only me and my manager, I was given a high level of responsibility straight away and my manager was very receptive to my suggestions.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

Had a strong relationship with my manager, however I feel the role was a bit repetitive and by the end of the year was less stimulating for me. Overall a good experience and has definitely improved my understanding of the workplace.
