Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is storage sales within IBM, it involves catching up with account managers at IBM every day to work on sales strategy and also learning about the IBM products myself to be able to present.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The amount of responsibility grows as the internship progresses. But there was definitely periods when I felt like I didn't have a lot to do in this job - especially because my team was working from home a lot.
