  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was given plenty of jobs to do, there were occasions when I was waiting for responses from others to be able to proceed on a project that I found myself quiet, but I could always find training courses to get on with.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I believe I was given as much responsibility as was possible for my knowledge. I was able to head a project, as well as lots of other different tasks. However there were certain things that I would have required a deeper understanding of the business in order to be able to work entirely self sufficiently.

    • There were a series of hiccups surrounding a responsible business challenge that was set for us including not having groups set up correctly, unclear expectations and a loss of information. But the overall intern in my business area was excellent.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I felt that I was pushed by my team in a professional manner and given the opportunity to progress. However, there were other interns who were given the opportunity to take courses in recognised financial qualifications that myself and others weren't given the opportunity to do.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
