    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role as an intern varied every day and weekly as I was placed with different teams. Often it involved shadowing and training, but also a lot of practical tasks and even he chance to meet dealers face-to-face. More often than not, I was active in meetings and calls (both internally and externally) in which I could learn about CDF and other lines of business.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Many! Time management was a big skill I have vastly improved on because the internship kept me very busy. I've also got more confident in both public speaking and networking and I think many other skills i picked up over the 10 weeks I will take forward with me into future careers.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes. I was given quite a lot of responsibility during my internship, mainly around talking to clients and pitching to them. I also had a lot of work with spreadsheets that would then be shared internally and used by others within CDF and Wells Fargo. Overall a sensible level of responsibility as no work was ever too overwhelming.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • Plenty of support and guidance. I had a buddy over the 10 weeks, as well as my manager - then per team per week I also had a buddy and a lead manager who guided me through the week and who aided me with any tasks or queries I may have had.

    Culture
