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

My role is to provide support for pre-implemented systems into client accounts. Daily the account I work on has a DSTUM where the whole team, senior to junior, come together to discuss any pre-existing workload.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

My job has allowed me to enhance my written communication. Other skills like organisation and time management have been worked on because my work load needs to be managed and with the work load you must ensure that you do not breech the time the work should be completed by.
