Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I used SQL Teradata to build code that collects data. I then used this to create graphs, and then analysed the results to draw meaningful conclusions and recommendations. Finally, I presented everything through a project powerpoint.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility, with the opportunity to work on my project independently, but also always knowing I can talk to my team for help, or any one at the company really.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
