Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was allocated to an audit team working on live client work. Day to day, I would be involved in a variety of tasks such as preparing audit notes, sitting in on client meetings and taking minutes as well as having the opportunity to spend a day on the client site.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Definitely! During my internship, I have been able to take ownership of work assigned to me and subsequently report my findings to my colleagues.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have developed a plethora of skills during my internship in particular communication and time management. I have had the opportunity to interact with colleagues of differing seniority across the firm and gain a better understanding of their role and responsibilities. My time management has also significantly improved as there have been instances where I have been working on numerous tasks each with their own deadlines.

Support and Guidance

I would never hesitate to reach out to a colleague be it with the work I was given or generic queries as they were always happy to answer any questions. There is an excellent support system in place as every intern is allocated a buddy and career coach which always make you feel reassured.
