Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As I had many roles my day to day activities would change very often. However, a standard day would include me responding to emails and any team messages. Getting on with individual/team task, attending zoom meetings and finally have a check up with my manager.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
When I first started I didn't get a lot however as time went on I got more and more responsibilities. By halfway through my placement I was very busy and always had something to do. At one point I felt like I had too much responsibilities however I was fortunate enough to have a great team who helped me with decreasing my work load

In terms of actually applying for the role I would say try to develop the skills you lack in or which are needed to excel in that job role
