Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I build daily reports for the business and agencies, and I execute marking communications to the EMEA region.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Most of my roles came with much responsibility, for example the reports I build are used by many people in the business, and the scorecards I built were also vital for the keystake holders of the business.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Working in a team has been vital in my role as you are constantly working with your peers to meet deadlines, which also brings me to communication skills. Sending emails and communicating in the team calls has been very important and I've definitely developed those skills within my time in IBM

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

There was always support and guidance, everyone in the team was happy to help with tasks that I didn't know how to execute. However, my role was quite lonely at times as most/all the team members were based in Romania, Spain, Germany and France.
