Overview
Trainee consultant (summer intern) - to learn about consulting practices and the industry, as well as develop both soft and practice-specific skills, through direct experience and active engagement. Day to day: Attend individual and team meetings Produce slide packs for various client engagements Undertake specific tasks for both project and internal initiatives
Skills
Improved PowerPoint and excel skills Increased commercial awareness Enhanced communication skills within a corporate environment
Responsibilities
I feel more responsibility could be given, but this is constrained by the timeframe.
Support & Guidance
Regular and open communication with my line manager throughout. Part of a buddy scheme which pairs you up with a more junior team member, who also checks in regularly and acts as another source of guidance. More structure of activities would be beneficial
Culture
Open and welcoming culture. Your input is welcomed and people make time to engage with and help you. Feedback is encouraged.
Your Impressions
When work was assigned it was enjoyable, however the irregularity of this was frustrating at times. The people make the experience and look to provide opportunities for you to achieve self-set targets.
Yes
Be honest and understand what you want to gain from the placement. Ask questions during the interview to better understand the work you will be involved with during the internship.
