Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Internal operations reporting such as creating KPIs and utilisation reports and acting as PMO for various public sector sales and bids. I track the progress of these bids using excel spreadsheets and documents that I have created and complete data analysis as well as writing responses to clients.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given so much responsibility. I was given the opportunity to visit client sites and travel abroad and have also had the opportunity to run client integrated team meetings each week with upto 20 attendees.
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 never learnt so much than I have in 9 months on my placement. I have developed skills using new tools and advanced excel such as VB and macros. IBM also like to upskill their employees and provide hundreds of self paced courses that allow skill development. They have also funded my first professional cloud exam where I have learnt the title of a AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend IBM to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
Be yourself. Be fun. Be curious. Even if applying for technical roles, IBM know that you are young and have less skills than most but the curiously to learn is what is important for applications.
