Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
my roles is to familiarise myself with as much tasks as possible. Making sure i have a variety of skills to show at the end. This has included tax returns, HMRC correspondence, client meetings and proposals. Filling out HMRC required forms, eg R40 forms. I also got assigned a research project to work through throughput my internship and hen present my findings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility during my internship. The team trusted me and had faith in me, which I feel boosted my confidence a lot. I was given a lot of tasks that were difficult but was told to compete with an open mind as I was learning a lot more than i realised. I was told to ask lots of questions so that I'm not struggling and doing these tasks independently really built my confidence.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
