Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
From a fast moving business and industry it was adamant that I needed to adapt my work to maintain the pace the company moved. Over my placement my role shifted from a member of a small support team to being one of the leading supports for the business unit. multiple people within IBM were able to support me throughout the entire process and help me wherever they were able.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The responsibility over the placement increased as time went on due to an extending trust from the team. There was also an increased workload and responsibility as more areas of the business would ask for support or ideas of how to start similar processes to what I was doing in my main role.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The support received varied as the placement went on from having a large amount of support from my team to get me up to speed on my required ativities. this then slowed down as time went on however there were always constant contacts for support if I ever needed it. IBM made constant awareness of the places I could to for support if needed.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend IBM to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
For those looking to apply to the IBM internship programme I would recommend not worrying about how much business experience you already have. tehy understand that you are a young student and have likely very little. when an application or interview asks for experience examples use in life examples from things like school/clubs/sports as they are still vaild expereince examples.
