    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Day to day for me as intern is mostly reading more about the company policy. I mostly did research and reading because the role requires experienced professionals and as an intern there wasn’t much I could do other than learn and read about the business. There were a few presentations I gave to manager but that was it.

    Responsibilities
