Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily team briefing, followed by working on projects and meetings. Each day was different, some days were more shadowing colleagues in meetings, others were more independent and I was left to complete my own tasks.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given freedom to contribute ideas to projects. I did feel like my ideas were valued and incorporated. I was made to feel like a member of the team and not just an intern in terms of responsibility.
