Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Assisting the RnD department. Included writing technical reports/summaries, cleansing payroll data, making notes on client calls and presenting a fictional case study.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Completing tasks was independent but all tasks were provided by colleagues. Not given that much responsibility because the tasks were not of utmost importance and only in isolation.
