Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Shadowing, speaking to members of staff and networking. Would involve listening to the day to day role of different employees in different areas of the bank. Would have simulations for different areas and sessions to help interview skills and develop transferable skills good for employment.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful and interesting. Many parts of the business was covered so it was very helpful in deciding which area I am most interested in. This helped decide what area of the business I would like to work in. It was slightly overwhelming but understandable given the many different roles and limited time.
