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

When I login in the morning I check my emails and go into any calls which I need to attend. Then later on in the day I work on various different projects in which my manager has assigned to me.

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

I have definitely learnt how to use MS SharePoint which I wasn't that familiar with when I started at Unilever. I've also developed other IT skills such as improving my Excel skills.
