Overview
My role consisted of getting involved in different audits in my team. This includes the start to finish process of an audit. I performed many reviews of documents and sought recommendations. On a monthly basis I would create the BoM report. Every day is a different day; completing new tasks and learning new skills.
Skills
- IT skills - Analysis - Financial Service knowledge (commercial awareness) - Attention to detail - Integrity - Written and Verbal Communication
Responsibilities
I was given full responsibility, beyond what I have ever been given in any work experience. First two months were training and easing in but my manager made sure to challenge me and this responsibility helped me develop personally and professionally.
Support & Guidance
Great amount. If I needed any help or had any queries my manager and team were there.
Culture
The company culture is the best one i've seen yet. Not only do internal teams get along but everyone across the organisation are lovely. The atmosphere has been great; whether it is in the office or working from home through meetings/ team calls.
Your Impressions
I absolutely loved my placement year. I thrilled as a personal in the company and developed many skills I didn't imagine I would. This not only has aided me in being prepared for the post-graduate life, but has also helped me for my final year of studies when I go back to university.
Yes
Be yourself! Integrity is huge, be honest and responsible. Ask questions - no question is a bad one. Gain commercial awareness of the financial services industry and VWFS as a company. Be ready for challenges and personal growth.
