Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Extracting and analysing data to build reports. I have done a lot of document editing/ checking. I also regularly use PVTM to calculate a transfer value, create a reasonableness check spreadsheet and draft an email outlining the transfer value to the client. I have also calculated transfer values using spreadsheets. There is daily communication within the team and a muddle and huddle session weekly where work/ anything I might find interesting is mentioned.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of responsibility in the fact that I was exposed directly to the client work. I drafted work that would be sent directly to clients. I therefore had the responsibility to meet certain deadlines and ensure my work was to a high standard.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have developed my communication skills, interacting daily with members from various aspects/levels of the team. My confidence in my own ability has also grown massively as a result of my time here, when I started I was very unconfident in what I was doing but now I feel so much more confident and trust myself to do work to a great standard. I have learnt a lot of pensions specific knowledge also.

I received a lot of support from many people in the team. My buddy and Intern Manager were the first point of contact if I was stuck and they also helped. When delegated tasks, the delegator would always ensure I understood everything and was happy to take any questions.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend WTW to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to WTW
Try to stay calm throughout the interviewing process, the interviewers are really friendly and aren't trying to catch you out. Do some preparation before the interview/assessment centre and think of interesting/valuable experiences you can talk about.
