Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual internship and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day consisted of talks learning more about an aspect of the work Fidelity international does. The first day focused on equities, the second day focused on fixed income and the third day focused on mixed asset classes. After learning more about that area of the business we took part in research tasks that involved researching companies and providing a recommendation of the best investment. There was also opportunities to speak/ network with current employees at Fidelity as well as other students participating in the spring week.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
They were clear about what job roles there were within the company and we got to interact with a wide range of people from different areas of the business.

I think the work experience pushed me out of my comfort zone with the research tasks because I didn't feel like i really had the knowledge to complete them as well as I would have liked but I did enjoy learning more about the industry
