    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was part of the deduplication team which essentially looked at all the 'parties', entities or individuals that do/have done business with MS in past, that had ever been created and deleting any duplicate parties from the system. It was essentially clearing out the old system ready for a new system to come into place. I did this everyday, over and over.

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