Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved pulling reports, helping with different projects but I also had time for being involved in projects outside of my role e.g. Be The Change. My tasks required working in a team but also individually.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I believe was given much responsibility but at the same every time I needed help, I received it. Thus, given responsibility wasn't overwhelming and allowed me to develop my skills faster.
