Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Insight involved a 5 day hybrid scheme with Irwin Mitchell. During these five days we experienced and undertook tasks that a trainee would typically carry out. We also managed to speak to employees throughout the company to learn more about the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was exciting to see how IM was developing and the new roles that could be available in the future. This was exemplified by IM’s potential expansion abroad and thus the opportunity to use my languages.
