Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I work on a variety of different projects, some innovation based, some knowledge based, alongside the base job. The base job requires calling out to client's queries and supporting them with their account.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes. We were constantly in contact with the real clientele of the company, solving their real time issues and ensuring they are able to access the company easily. There is a lot of pressure in the sense we could be the only contact the customer has with Bloomberg, therefore we needed to always give good service.

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I learnt new skills, like how to use the Terminal, as well as increasing my language proficiency within a professional environment. I also gained key skills of professionalism and learnt how to be myself within a professional environment.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I felt I had constant support, and at sometimes, almost too much support. This is good! Yet, it felt sometimes I was constantly having meetings that I didn't really need to have, as I felt sufficiently supported.
