Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was responsible for working on six projects, with different line managers overviewing the banks operations, looking for more efficient methods of problem-solving. The projects ranged from internal processes to transactions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a healthy amount of autonomy over my day to day work. I was proactive in arranging meetings with the project managers and meeting deadlines, while networking with other interns as a result of the programmes being remote.
