Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Helped manage risk at the bank by using Excel to manipulate data, researching information about different clients and presenting findings to members of my team throughout.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given tasks that were challenging and also useful to the bank. Some of my work was presented to senior team members to help inform them. For most of these tasks I was given initial oversight and when more confident I was given independence to decide the best methods to complete the project effectively.
