Overview
During our placement, we had the opportunity to work within 4 different department (corporate & finance, commercial advisory, tax/trusts & estates, and complex personal injury). Each day we were assigned various tasks we had to complete and submit before the end of the day. Alongside the tasks, we attended various firm talks on diversity initiatives, the structure of the company and social networking events!
Skills
I learnt various skills over the course of the week. In particular, I was tested on my time management and communication skills.
Business Insight
It was extremely exciting - the firm allowed us to network and talk to various different departments and levels of management! The firm felt as though it had a very 'flat' structure and therefore, it has motivated me to see that it is possible to work hard and achieve a lot.
Culture
It was extremely open minded and welcoming! Every interaction I had was positive and welcoming and therefore I left the week feeling really excited and hopeful to get the call back.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed seeing how the company functioned across the multiple offices. I believe IM did an excellent job despite the experience being online and I felt as though I was able to get an insight into the everyday life of a trainee through the scheme.
Yes
Being yourself goes a long way! I went into the process with no expectations and therefore, put no pressure on myself to achieve anything during the application process. Consequently, I would recommend trying to be as relaxed and open as possible!
