    4/5

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • People at Lloyds are very friendly and supportive of your career goals. Everyone is always happy to give you advice and help with your work and career. I am not afraid to ask anyone for help, no matter what position they are.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It varies depending on the week, sometimes there is a lot of work to do and sometimes there isn't much. But that gives you the opportunity to pursue other things such as volunteering and fundraising work which is part of the internship.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Every piece of that I was given was definitely within my capabilities. As an intern, the time we spend at the bank is not long and so the amount we can really contribute is limited. But I definitely feel like I have contributed constructively to my team.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As I study economics, the work that I have done has limited relevance to my degree course but my internship has given me a great insight into the world of banking which will definitely help me inmy career as I wish to pursue a career in this line of work after I graduate.
