Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked with a team on a client project. I was given a manager, counsellor and buddy. My manager oversaw my work, my counsellor was a manager who was there to support me in a pastoral capacity. My buddy was a grad who was a friendly face to have around the office and to ask any questions to.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not really which I think is good, any work I did went to those above me to check meaning I wasn't afraid to do anything wrong.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
