The Role
The Internship was plesant and well structured.
My team members as well as the majority of my other colleagues were always happy to help with any questions or problems I had.
My line manager was always accessible despite their busy schedule and actively took interest in my development.
My role was such that was there was always the opportunity to take on as much work as I felt I could handle.
My role afforded me the oppurtunity to own large aspects of entire projects.
My role covered a wide variety of tasks and involved interacting with colleagues across various divisions and locations. This challenged me to develop my knowledge base, time management, project management, as well as my communication. This skills will be valuable at all points in my career.
