Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Most of my time is spent responding to daily enquiries from all on-highway customers, however there are a few specific accounts which I support on a more personal level, in order to develop further business and track company sales. My role also includes leading multiple projects, including a female engagement event and creating a consolidated resource for all on-highway customers.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of responsibility during my placement and was seen as just another member of the team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt and developed many new skills on my placement! The main skill I have developed has been problem-solving and negotiation. As I have daily conversations with a lot of customers there have been many problems I have encountered whereby I have had to look at alternative options available and use my initiative to ensure I keep the customer satisfied, whilst also using my business acumen.
