    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I work alongside my buddy and line manager - attending meetings, shadowing and completing tasks. I also get the opportunity to attend meetings, go to conferences and meet/work with people across the rest of the bank. I also engage with Business projects and CSR challenges, attend spotlight learning sessions as well as other social or networking activities.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have been developing non technical skills in networking, communication, leadership and organisation. More importantly I have been learning a vast amount of technical skills, from responsible investing, to fund research, to asset managment, to risk awareness and financial services. I have begun to understand some of the different moving parts of the bank and how they relate to each other.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I have been given opportunities for responsibility in the projects I am undertaking but equally I am given autonomy in deciding who I want to talk to across the bank. It is down to me to an extent to put myself out there and make the most of the experience.
