    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • This was my first internship and I have to say I've enjoyed it thoroughly. The exposure that we get within the bank was just incredible.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Very much. I was given proper tasks by the end of my first week. I was treated like any other colleagues and did not feel like an intern at all.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was particularly supportive, not just in my current career plans but was also concerned about my long term career goals and my aims in life. I was also assigned a mentor who was an experienced person in her area of business and we regularly kept in touch.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Not too busy as I was in the operations team. Basically it's a very timely job whereby you have certain tasks to complete by a certain time range. So once I was done with those tasks I could leave. I usually leave the office at 6.30pm

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Reasonable amount of responsibility. I was doing the same jobs that other experienced colleagues were doing.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I guess it will not apply to my degree in Economics in any sense. But it has definitely enhanced my soft skills immensely.
