    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role has been mainly a training one. I would get presentations from experienced developers about different technologies and then set tasks and challenges to go through. This helped me learn more and apply my understanding of each of these languages/ technologies.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I've learnt many new technical skills, from good coding practices to being introduced to whole new languages and platforms. Through this internship I've personally grown my soft skills and professional transferrable skills. I now feel much more confident in conducting myself in a professional manner.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Due to the short length of my internship I didn't have any real responsibility in the challenges I completed. This has only made me want to gain even more industry experience so I can grow all that I learnt from this internship.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Ghyston

Ghyston will help with your personal development and training so don't worry if you feel like you aren't caught up on every language and technology. And most importantly, be yourself and bring your best to the application.
