    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I would receive different trainings from team members and those in UKFS teams nationwide. I would then be able to assist on deals, using these skills that I had used. I would interact with my team regularly, shadowing deals and giving input where I could. On top of this I would meet virtually with interns from other regions to complete a business project, as well as attending different spotlight sessions


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Yes. In the technical sense I have learnt lots of skills such as financial modelling and how to create financial tables. More broadly, I have improved my networking and collaboration skills, my ability to analyse propositions and critically review them, as well as the ability to work in a fast paced environment and meet deadlines

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes. Since my team deals in very high value deals, obviously there was only so much that I could be trusted. However, my team would trust me with any task that I believed I was capable of and assist me with these tasks where I needed it. I did lots of work that contributed to live deals


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • Constant trainings from people in UKFS teams around the nation. My own team would always take the time to teach me skills or explain anything that I didn't understand. So I received support and guidance daily
