Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Used Microsoft Excel to build a model for long term planning for call centres. Met virtually with team members everyday and worked to complete a monthly plan.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, the work I did was and is used by the team. It was done completely by me and nobody else had the necessary skills to check it was correct so there was a lot of responsibility to get it right.
