    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I Supported the team by updating reports using Excel. I created and refined PowerPoint presentations. I attended client meetings to gain insights and contribute to discussions. I Visited the insurance market to meet with brokers and understand market conditions.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • During my internship, I significantly developed my communication skills through regular client meetings and interactions with underwriters, learning how to effectively convey and receive information in a professional setting. I also built a new skill in research, which I honed while working on my internship project, enabling me to gather, analyze, and synthesize information more efficiently. Additionally, this experience was my first exposure to a corporate environment, where I developed strong teamwork skills. Collaborating closely with my team taught me the importance of coordination, flexibility, and mutual support in achieving shared goals.
