Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
E-learning exercises, shadowing members of the wider team, shadowing directors and partners for extended periods, helping out on ongoing projects and working to multiple deadlines. The role really helped to develop time management, communication, teamwork skills and it was a great experience to connect with other SVS students from different universities.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! Although you were given as much responsibility as you wanted. So if you wanted to take on lots of work then the option to ask for more was there. Working on real client projects means you have the opportunity to work to deadlines and learn how to time manage your tasks and prioritise work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my time here! Especially as someone who has never stayed in London for an extended period of time, everyone was very keen to go to social events and include the SVS into the team gatherings as much as possible. I really recommend the experience to anyone keen to learn more about the professional services industry!
