Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was an investments intern. On a day-to-day basis I will be given a variety of client related tasks where I will help the team build the necessary reporting for a client or help gather information for a presentation. This can vary from risk analysis, portfolio dashboards, implementation statements or producing slide decks
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given responsibility as you was able to represent WTW when dealing and communicating with clients externally. Also, with work having deadlines, I was responsible for a number of client tasks which is good.
I was also given the chance to write market commentaries and newsletter commentary which I was responsible for
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend WTW to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to WTW
I would advise anyone who is applying to be themselves and make sure they are able to communicate well. WTW do not expect interns to know a lot and make sure to teach you as much as they can on the internship, therefore they want to see whether you can work on a team and communicate well.
