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

Each day I am responsible for managing my own work load and making sure that I am efficient with my time. I will have meetings internally and with clients each day as well as team catch ups. In my team we focus on a number of different clients and therefore my work will differ depending on what client I am working on.

It is a great way to learn straight out of school how to conduct yourself within a corporate environment. I have learnt a number of soft skills as well as developing my technical knowledge. I have massively improve my technical knowledge from internal and external training.
