Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Completing administrative tasks for the account managers and account managers support team whilst simultaneously heading up and completing my own designated branch projects to add value to the branch. Some weeks contain specific learning aspects with sessions on specific sectors within the bank.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was solely responsible for the progress of my branch projects which I was able to add value amount to 5 figure sums to my branches profits and cut significant costs. Guidance and help was provided where needed but the majority of this work was completed independently through my vision and direction
