Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As I mentioned before, my role is to essentially provide generator set support to dealers and distributers across the globe. On a day to day basis I am dealing with enquiries from providing data sheets and 3D drawings to using software's such as gensize to help select the most suitable generator set for a particular application.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I built up a lot of trust with my manager through my placement where I was given more and more responsibility as time went on. I started with only answering datasheet and drawing request enquiries where I would need his supervision to send responses to being able to assign emails to members in the team, take on a variety for different enquiries and send my responses with no supervision.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
At the beginning quite a lot and as I became more proficient, I didn't need as much guidance. However, I was always able to receive support and guidance from my manager and the rest of my team whenever I needed it.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very good. Very inclusive. Other than the fact most people worked at home so the office was quite empty, every interaction I had within the company was a good one.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my placement very much. I learnt a lot of skills, developed a few skills I already had previously and there was never a moment where I had nothing to do or was repeating the same work all the time. The only thing I would change is have a few more opportunities to do things outside of the office.
