  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role was to work with my uncle and observe the routine of the office. I also filled out a booklet given to me by my school on a daily basis. I often spoke to team members in the work place and found out about their role etc. this was very interesting and beneficial.
