Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was given tours and explanations about how the company is run and how it all works, I spoke with multiple different departments and everyone was so kind and open to taking time out of their day to teach me what their job is. This has helped me massively as I am still searching for a career path for the future.
