Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I accepted work from a variety of teams. This typically involved reading and editing reports, updating sales databases, creating graphs and finding sales comparisons. On most days I accompanied senior employees for their meetings in order to learn more about the project. There were also frequent networking events and training seminars
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was impressed by how much responsibility I was given, even on the first day. It was great to be a part of real projects, often with strict deadlines.
