    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • While I required my work to be checked by a qualified solicitor as I have not yet gained this qualification myself, I managed my own workload and was involved in a variety of projects. I had the opportunity to manage my own project and present findings back to a panel who then provided me with valuable feedback. I felt I had a lot of responsibility which was very motivating.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • I had weekly 1:1 meetings with my line manager to discuss my workload and any concerns I had. I felt comfortable to ask my line manager for guidance when necessary and she was always very supportive. I attended weekly catch up sessions with my team where we could raise items for discussion which often provided guidance. I had quarterly and an annual review to measure my progress and provide me with guidance on how I could improve.
