    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My everyday looked quite different for the time I've been working and I can say that this for me was a positive as I never got bored or tire of work. I had to do quite a lot of member benefit calculations and also got involved in client meetings and accounting work.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I've learned a lot of pensin schemes which I wasn't too knowledgable in. I've definitely greatly developed my communication, time management and organisational skills. I improved a lot on Excel and got very comfortable of using complex functions on it.

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
