I representing the firm and promote them on campus. This requires me to understand and communicate opportunities to students through creative ways, such as presentations, and social media.

Direct responsibility comes with the tasks that the firm sets for us to do specific things, which are at a reasonable period of time, enough to manage.
I am also given a freehand to come up with our own ideas and carry out our own events, which is great as it allows me to get creative.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot! We have a dedicated person who is our direct contact, but still the whole recruitment team is willing to jump on and help.
My ideas are always supported and the recruitment team is more than willing provide additional support. For example, I am currently organising a negotiation competition and one email was enough for the recruitment team to be willing to help with organising this.
