    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • From the first day I was given the opportunity to work on a variety of different projects each giving me the chance to learn and develop new skills, including writing planning appraisals, statements and cover letters. Through the month I have also had the ability to attend large internal and client meetings. Furthermore, through the summer scheme programme I have had the ability to network with a wide range of people in the business.
