    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes. We were constantly in contact with the real clientele of the company, solving their real time issues and ensuring they are able to access the company easily. There is a lot of pressure in the sense we could be the only contact the customer has with Bloomberg, therefore we needed to always give good service.
