    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I learned lots of skills from working on tasks I had never done before. For example, there are certain formats to follow when writing memos and calculating dates prior to the trial. There were different written procedures I learned to follow.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

I also learned all about the qualification process as an NQ, and development opportunities (such as the Global Associate Program, where you can work at another global Clyde's office for a week).
