Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was an actuarial and consulting intern, in which I would help both the London and East Croydon team in the development of various projects. I would assist them in whatever projects they were working on, handling data as well as producing reports. Day to Day, this would involve getting into the office, spending a bit of time working on my longer internship project, they starting on the activities that were tasked with me for the day.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a very high amount of responsibility, being trusted with handaling member data, as well as being given projects that would have a impending deadline. I was trusted greatly to complete the work in a timely fashion, as well as to a high standard.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
