    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I shadowed a trainee in the corporate team of the Aberdeen office. I completed tasks for different members of the team including drafting warranty documents, completing research tasks, and completing ancilliary documents ready for companies house. I also had the oppurtunity to travel to the Edinburhg office where I took part in numeorus workshops regarding commercial awareness and proffessionalism. At the end of the two week placement I gave a presentation on the work I had completed and my experience at CMS.

The time I spent in the office with the corporate team also confirmed my interest in the sector.
