Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
It was completely online so my day involved lots of meetings over zoom. Each day was different and interesting getting to meet different people across the bank. We still had lots of networking opportunities despite it being virtual.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given a lot of responsibility for my personal projects and work and knew that is was down to me whether I was going to succeed or not. I wasn't given responsibility when it came to clients however.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

I have developed skills in presenting to others and being able to work as a group. I also found that my professionalism in a working environment was developed as we were given the opportunity to see what it would be like working in a graduate style job.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received lots of support and guidance. Before I even started the internship my graduate buddy and line manager had introduced themselves to me and were constantly supportive through each week. Everyone else in the bank was so friendly and I found that people were always happy to listen to my questions and were very helpful to interns.
