Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
My experience with the group was very positive. I was involved with research tasks, proofreading tasks and interpreting and amending documents. There were assessed tasks to do across the duration of the scheme as well as organised sessions and socials.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very valuable and gave me a genuine insight into the firm. Solidified my decision to apply to the firm for a training contract.
