Skills
I have developed by communication, problem-solving, analytical and detail-orientated skills.
Responsibilities
I was provided with a lot of autonomy as well as guidance and support when required.
Support & Guidance
I had a weekly 121 with my line manager, as well as several coffee chats with managers across the team throughout my internship. I was provided with support on my projects as well as advice in terms of career progression. The campus recruitment team also held several drop in sessions for interns to ask any questions- this was highly beneficial.
Culture
The culture was the best part! Everyone was respectful, friendly and supportive.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed it! I learnt a lot from my team and was provided with a lot of autonomy. I equally made great connections that I know will prove to be useful in my career progression. Additionally, the socials that the campus recruitment team held made the aspect of a virtual internship less daunting.
Yes
Be yourself and highlight your skill-set!
