    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was able to take ownership of daily BAU tasks and was given several opportunities to add value to the team. I was given projects that would be used by the team to enhance operations; for example I produced a heatmap to help identify gaps in the end to end credit process. I gave 5 different presentations giving an overview of the credit environment and how this would affect our portfolio management.
