9/10

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

I am a software engineer so my role changes relatively often, but one thing that stays the same is the monitoring and support of systems, so first thing i do in a morning is a check that servers are running and that I have no requests for support. Then I proceed with any development work I have after I will give updates of my progress to my manager and client.

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

Yes I have learnt many new skills, especially coding languages and software engineering techniques. I have also learnt more interpersonal skills for talking to managers and senior employees, and this can vary from asking fro feedback and advice to explaining what I do and am doing.
