    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • It was not the hardest job I have ever done. Unlike working in retail, working in the office in a banking nevironment is much more relaxed. I mean, everyone on my team are very senior directors and extremely busy so they did not have a lot of time for me.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Did not contribute much to their day to day tasks. It was not my fault, on several occasions I have emailed them for work to get on with and recieved no response. Did in the end get invoved with admin work which I am helping them with at the moment
