Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Everyday, the friendly HR team arranged professionals in different UBS branches to speak with us. Usually, a q&a session was offered directly after their presentations, so we could ask them questions that we were interested. After the event, I indeed know much more about the responsibilities and duties of each branch, including those I was not familiar with. I was also deeply impressed by UBS’s decade-long contribution in ESG.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Through listening to the sharing of industry experts, participants can compare different roles and functions to make an informed choice regarding which role to apply to.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Of course! First of all, three networking sessions were provided so participants can liaise with each other. This really improved my communication skills through exchanging insights with intellectually excellent fellows. Also, through asking the industry professionals about skills they prefer during recruitment, I also have a better direction of what skills to be developed in the future. Finally, the porfolio manager mentioned some great tips regarding stock pitch, which definitely helps
