    The Role

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

    • Overall the internship was great. The work was varied and you were given a lot of responsibility with reports produced being used in client meetings and being sent out to members in pension schemes. There was also a charity project which adds another element. It was also very social with the option of drinks happening every week with colleagues or other interns.

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

    • It is a slow start at first as you need to show you are able to do the smaller tasks. However it does get busier as the internship progresses. You are also able to work on your charity project if you have any spare time.
