Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My work was geared towards supporting more senior brokers and the work they do for clients. This involved working on spreadsheets inputting data, collecting information, producing reports and making powerpoints. My time was mostly spent learning about the industry and experiencing day to day office life.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
It is quite hard to tell... I did a fair amount of client work, but I imagine that all of it would have been double checked by someone else. I did a lot of work for other brokers that was not sent directly to clients, and in this area I was given more responsibility because the stakes were lower.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Learnt about the insurance industry, developed my excel skills significantly, learnt how to produce a powerpoint that aligns with a certain branding, learnt more soft skills (in terms of learning how best to interact with more senior brokers on a day to day basis).

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My team were extremely supportive of me and my learning, and several teammembers clearly put time aside to teach me and enrich my understanding of the field of work. I feel that I could have recieved more personal support from my manager since I have only had 2 meetings with them (and this is my ninth week), and they are rarely in to support me day to day - both personally and in my professional work.
