Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Spent one week in two different departments supporting your manager and team. Carried out jobs such as research, administration and drafting. As the first week was during London Tech Week, also got to attend events at the firm on a variety of topics including tech, retail and insurance. Also spend time getting to know the people in the team and asking them questions about the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really interesting to learn about the firm and understand its underlying business rather than focusing solely on client matters. Get to set the bigger picture, and seems everyone in the firm has a role to play in business development and something that is key to help the firm grow. Got to understand the variety of roles available, and the extend of business and support services.
