Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working on audits of a range of different clients. A lot of this involved travelling to client's site to work from their office. Daily job revolved around using Excel for completion of tasks.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Amount of responsibility grew the longer I was there, started off with very little responsibility when I was initially training but by the end of the placement you could tell the managers trusted more and so gave out more responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
