Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Over the last month, I have been in the Intern for the West End Office agency team. Due to the nature of the job my day-to-day activity is never the same. I often find myself on viewings for various office buildings or find myself developing spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentation's for buildings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes - i was given plenty of responsibility throughout. I was tasked with creating key documents for clients and other members of the team. However, i would have loved the opportunity to have even more responsibility and pushed myself even more.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
