Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an intern, I was helping prepare client documentation and ad hoc tasks like data inputting and operating insurance broking systems. Alongside the team tasks, I was doing research for my group project and producing a powerpoint for the end of the internship, which we would present to other interns and senior colleagues.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We were given tasks which full-time employees would complete on a daily basis, encouraging us to integrate into our teams more.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
The role gives a lot of independence and responsibility, allowing you to feel like a regular employee rather than an intern. I learnt how to be a better active listener (acknowledging client needs and providing solutions), tailor my conversations depending on person, and completing group project work alongside daily tasks. This allowed me to multi-task in a corporate environment.
