    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I was happy to have been trusted with considerable responsibilities as an intern, and I felt I was undertaking valuable work for the business and adding value. I was constantly challenged and given the opportunity to explore different areas of the Private Bank. My work was varied, interesting and extremely enjoyable.

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I always had interesting work to complete, which ensured the days went quickly, and I was constantly occupied. I never found myself either bored or over-worked, I was given just the right amount to do in order to optimize my performance.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • The experience was relatively short so this necessarily limited the extent to which I was able to take on activities. This said, when I was involved in activities I felt that my opinion mattered.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • It is possible I could have a job after I finish my internship. At the beginning of my internship it was mentioned I could apply and would more than likely get the job.

  • There are many opportunities to do other things outside of work, colleagues are always doing things - playing sports, having parties etc which has been a pleasure to get involved in!
