Overview
During my placement I spent a lot of time working on corporate cards which involved the processing of reports, training, limit amendments as well as dealing with queries. First rotation saw me work heavily with the accounts payable team, whilst the second rotation saw me deal with the analysis of spend of company travel.
Skills
I have heavily developed my personal skills, such as networking, self-management. I have also developed my Microsoft Excel skills to a high level. In addition, I have improved my understanding of financial statements.
Responsibilities
I was given a lot of responsibility, with being of control of most of the corporate card scheme. On a day to day basis I was able to complete my work without any type of micromanagement.
Support & Guidance
A lot support and guidance was given, whenever I had a question or issue I was always able to go to my manager for advice and was always there to help.
Culture
The company culture is in general quite relaxed which makes going to work not feel like a chore as other jobs can feel. Feels as if teams interact quite well amongst each other.
Your Impressions
I would say this placement has been the most enjoyable work experience I have ever had and have enjoyed the experience to the full extent.
Yes
Make sure to show your personality as much as possible and take full advantage of the experience.
