Overview
On a daily basis I upload new starters onto our pension scheme, I schedule calls with graduates to see how they are finding their placements. I interact with colleagues from other functions or globally, I write and send letters and contracts. I am able to observe interviews and I am actively involved with new starters and the recruitment process for various roles at all different levels
Skills
I have developed my Excel skills, I have improved the way I structure and conduct my emails, I have developed my time keeping skills by working to an efficient speed. My communication skills have improved also, I am more confident and feel like I present myself professionally.
Responsibilities
Yes, very early on- it was great! When asked for more responsibility I was immediately given more work, it is very encouraging. I now, 4 months in, am creating my own workload and I am contacted directly for tasks to be completed or given queries to handle. Despite being a student still learning, IMI treat me with great respect and appreciate my skills and knowledge.
Support & Guidance
Every day I am in contact with my supervisor. I have fortnightly calls with my line manager however I am able to call or email her whenever I need to. I feel comfortable seeking guidance or asking questions if I am unsure of anything and my superiors are more than happy to help. I feel heard and understood by my managers.

Fantastic. I feel comfortable to be my absolute most authentic self. The environment is professional, welcoming, inspiring, and friendly. It truly is a treat going into the office. The companies values are present within the working environment
