Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There was a lot of networking and getting to know the company and the people working there. There was also a couple of tasks that I had to do, like scheduling meetings, booking rooms and creating presentations.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful because I learned that I can do many things with or without my university degree. I also learned that there are many pathways for me in the future and that I am not stuck on one particular path, and that I am able to shape my career the way I want.
