Assitant Manager Commercial Banking Legal Review

8 - The internship has been a great experience, I have learnt a lot of skills which will help me make strategic career moves and have given me a real insight of what life would be like as an in-house lawyer and the chance to work in the legal field for 10 weeks has been an infallible experience.

9 - My colleagues have made me feel like a very valuable and have made me feel like a attribute to the department they have given me great work to do and I have been fortunate to develop a positive relationship with my line manager which has helped me feel appreciated within the department

7 - My line manager set me a series of task in which prior to me performing the task she ensured that it was carefully explained and that I had the understanding required of me to perform the task to the level required. We had regular meetings where I was able to update her on the work I was doing and what stage in the task I was.

7 - As usual there are always some days which are busier and days where I had more capacity, however I felt that it was a good balance spread out across the 10 weeks. the initial 2 weeks were slow to kick off but once it did I was keep busy daily.

8 - I was given a fair share of responsibility throughout my internship, having been allocated projects that I lead other interns one and also having been set a charity challenge for the duration of my internship in which I was team leader I had to be responsible for the work of a team.

10 - My line manger had career one to ones with me to teach me a few skills which I can use in my last year of degree and helping me develop a career path and a contingency plan for the next few years mentoring me through the process and training me on what to expect in private practice.

7 - my team are a lovely bunch, who have been very encouraging throughout my duration, they have been very pleasant and I feel comfortable working here. They are very friendly and having been welcoming during my internship to ensure that I feel at ease and helping me how to manage my time.

The internship was well organised as everything was set up prior to my arrival and it helped me to set in a lot easier as i was up and running from the first day.They had also pre booked me accommodation for the duration of my internship as i lived far from where i work and thus is would make it easier for me to commute to work

The company had various shadowing days set up for me in other departments and on in a private firm which was good for personal training, however I would not necessary say they have invested in me as a few of my requests were turned down due to budgeting which meant I was not able to make of this 10 week all that I wished to.

I would say for the near future the organisation does not met the career prospects that I would wish for as they do not have a lot of capacity to help or to aid individuals who wish to take a legal route in comparison to the other departments who can go through the graduate requirement. however, I may consider it in the future as a path that I would pursue in the distant future.

There was a social scene amongst all the interns which was good because it made the internship more enjoyable and it gave us something to do once we had finished our day of work

To engage in any socialising was very expensive as we were in the centre of London and we had no big supermarkets that close so it was expensive

there was a good balance of nightlife and i was able to take advantage of this during my time there and my birthday

There were, but they were not any activities i wished to indulge in.
