The Role
I have been given hands-on responsability from week 1, and have been involved in all sorts of activities with different levels of seniority. It has been challenging, but being able to see the positive impact of my work made all the effort worth it!
I have been treated like a team member throughout my internship, and build an amazing network during my journey!
I have been offered guidance throughtout most of the tasks I have been assigned, however I have been allowed to input my creativity and put my ideas into practice.
A bit too busy at times, but I enjoyed every bit of it!
I have been actively involved in day to day activities in the branches, as well as being handed over on going projects to be implemented at a national level.
I have gained invaluable skills during my 8 weeks with HSBC, which will help me shape my future career! I have gained more confidence in myself, as well as developing day by day. I am confident that the new skills I have learned will improve my final year performance, and will be an advantage in my future job!
The Company
Friendly, yet professional.
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Graduate scheme is an invaluable opportunity to start your career.
The Culture
I have lived for half of my placement in London, therefore it has been very expensive.
