Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Assist the team I was assigned to with whatever tasks they may have. Often attended visitations to sites with clients and members of the team.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Mixed, many tasks were relatively low level. However they were always necessary for the deal to be completed and hence the task always seemed necessary and helpful for the wider operation.
