    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I took upon myself to run the stresses that the department does daily and the result of which is passed to management, and by second week I was doing it by myself, with supervision by senior staff. I never imagined that as an intern I would be allowed to do a task that is so important to the department.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I learned a lot of things, but mostly that there is no limit to how much one can learn, as long as he or she is willing to do it. The Bank certainly provides the challenges and the resources.
