Project Management Office Assistant Review

I enjoyed my placement with LBG. The people are lovely and always willing to help and show you what they do.

I was a bit shy at first and had some conflict with a fellow intern hence there were many times I didn't feel valued. My manager was a doll and really helped me see how much value I brought through my work.

We had weekly catch ups in place where my manager was really encouraging and always made sure I knew what I was doing and was happy with the work. My manager also asked me throughout what I wish to get out of the internship and helped me find relevant opportunities.

For some of the work I have been assigned it has been up to me to take initiative and there was always more I could do. I found that difficult at first due to not having had a job before so I found myself less busy at first.

I feel like the job I have would make no difference if no one was to do it.

I most certainly developed many skills this internship. Transferable skills such as team-working, organisational, communication etc. are skills that you can use anywhere and I can't stress enough how much I have developed as a person whilst being here.

I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in the office. Everyone was super friendly and talkative. We spoke about Love Island and all sorts. Going into a new job is daunting but don't forget that we are all just people and enjoy having a nice chat.

My team was going through a restructure so it could have been a bit better organised in terms of pieces of work. That being said everything was set up and ready for when I arrived including a project I have been set and all access needed.

Development is really important here and I have been encouraged to take my time to do any training I wished, joined some outsource presentations, did shadowing and wrote a few blogs about my leanings on new innovations such as Open Banking. Resources are great and you should use them.

I am still on a journey of self discovery. The company prospects and progression opportunities are really good however I am a bit uncertain if this is the right path for me.

Lovely atmosphere ad social environment. Obviously there was not much time to get to know everyone but there is a good mix of apprentices, grads and interns/scholars and all employees are open and friendly to us all.

Costs are pretty good however I lived at home in Sheffield. There are all sorts put in place to help.

Super good, Leeds is a good night and there is something for everyone.

I visited a school, took part in volunteering and helped with Day - to -make - a -difference that consist of helping the community.
