Overview
Speaking to wider areas of the bank about issues they face and coming up with solutions as to how to fix these processes, both internally and externally. Lots of Zoom calls with people and independent project work.
Skills
Learnt new Python, LeanKit, JIRA, Confluence and Excel skills, as well as developing presentation and networking skills.
Responsibilities
Yes - being given a good level of responsibility so far. Am being brought up to speed on projects before being handed them to work on, helping me to network and use my intuition, whilst being supported throughout it all.
Support & Guidance
Had a buddy scheme with a graduate, and two hour calls with them a week to ask any questions we needed, or to job shadow them, and have general chat. Also had line manager with 5 calls a week, to cover training, anything I'm unsure of, and action plan and tasks for the week. Very much feeling supported.
Culture
Such good company culture, everyone is so supportive and so willing to give time to the interns which surprised me. Seems like such a good company to work for, genuinely caring about every colleague.
Your Impressions
Absolutely loving my internship so far, can see myself doing this in the future and really enjoying the culture and environment I am in.
Yes
I think the biggest thing would be to be yourself throughout the whole process, because you'll only be a good fit in company culture if you're accepted for being yourself. Be personable and friendly, and try to enjoy the process rather than feeling nervous for it.
