Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Proficient in using Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and other business software - Excel has been a powerful tool for analysing data, solve variety of problems, and improve my organisation skills. I was able to create charts and graphs to visualise data and identify trends.
Knowledge of financial markets and investment products - The key part of this, was not gathering the data, but also understanding the data.
