Overview
Morning catch-up with my placement manager to review my objectives and assign tasks for the day. Have team meetings once a week with other Associates and RDs. Sit through client meetings. Create Head of Terms, CM, MI and other documents to analyse client performance. Undertake training to develop commercial awareness.
Skills
- Networking - Stakeholder management - Excel - Client interaction
Responsibilities
I had to log MI for 15 clients into the main system used which the whole group had access to In charge of creating Market commentary for June which all the Associates used in the Credit Application Remarks. Updated CIPs based on what the client sends through. Drafted out a Heads of Terms (first bonding contract between client and bank) from scratch for a client.
Support & Guidance
I worked with 4 RDs, 1 ARD and 3 Associates to learn more on loan transactions and the products offered. They were all willing to take time out to explain the different tasks to me and give me feedback on my work.
Culture
Very welcoming and approachable with a lot of support provided.
Your Impressions
Enjoyed that we had work outside our placement to do with the ERGs and other interns. Definitely was a lot of fun.
Yes
Have an open mindset with every role and task you are given. The assessment stages might be stressful but be engaging and natural.
