Overview
The Vacation Scheme was one week long. On the first couple of days of the placement I attended presentations, which highlighted Gateley's values and explained what each department does. I worked in the Corporate department for the week, where I was given various pieces of work and attended a meeting with a client. The whole week has been very enjoyable.
Skills
As a result of being given various pieces of work with different deadlines, I developed my time-management and organisation skills. By working closely with the department I was placed in, I was also given the opportunity to develop my teamwork and communication skills. My commercial awareness has also developed in this role.
Business Insight
Gateley provided a great insight into the business and the potential roles available. I attended various talks at the beginning of the week, where we were told about Gateley's values and culture, as well as the various departments at Gateley.
Culture
Amazing. Everyone has been so welcoming and made me feel like a valued member of the team.
Your Impressions
A lot. I really enjoyed the insight, and would stay for longer if I could.
Yes
Be yourself and talk to anyone that you come across in the office. Everyone will be more than happy to talk to you and you will learn a lot about the firm from these interactions.
