Audit intern Review

I enjoyed my internship a great deal bar one or two difficult days where I was slightly ill and the work was not the most exciting. This enjoyment stemmed from the work itself, the environment, my sociable and good natured colleagues and the general good feeling of being in a job.

For the most part I felt valued especially when I saw my work actually making a difference in saving someone a lot of headache or adding quality to a project or job. Where this was not the case the colleagues tended to be too busy and it was not a case of lack of respect.

For the most part managers were extremely supportive and helpful when questions needed answering, even extending private number for queries and taking you as a friend as well as a colleague.

This differed quite a bit depending on the job, manager and day. For the most part I was busy for the whole day, with some days like Friday being busy in the morning and quiet in the afternoon and on one or two days being quiet for most of the day, although on those days training and other small to-dos were done.

Fifty per cent of my work were important tasks which made me feel responsible and worried for any possible mistakes, whereas the other 50 percent was usually of a more basic nature and its effect would have been small.

Due to finishing my internship very recently it is difficult to say but the skills I received have already carried over into my life, with many new found skills to surely be very useful in future jobs and studies

In my first week the atmosphere was quite dim and formal but in the rest of my intership it was relaxed in the sense that people worked hard but in a relaxed enviornment

It was reasonably well organised with each intern assigned to a graduate and manager to keep up with queries and work, however on some occasions more attention could have been made in ensuring interns were always busy with work.

The managers in particular took time out of their very busy schedule to really explain tasks and develop my skills and knowledge and even give up personal time to assist me, which is something I am very grateful for.

Very appealing, and if I was to be offered a job it would be to the extent where I would not bother applying for other jobs in my third year at all and would put all my focus on achieving the 2.1

Reasonably so, we regularly had lunch together and talked about the placement during work and outside work, but due to the busy nature and being in different departments socialising with other interns happened only once or twice

I lived at home so both were very low

Nightlife is not an interest of mine

Yes there was and I took advantage of this
