  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Since there were very few interns i could sense the investment of the firm. The colleagues in the bank were always willing to help when i had a question, and sometimes would go beyond what was asked of them. This demonsrates the extent to which the firm was willing to invest in me.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
