Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

During my internship, I supported a range of administrative tasks, including filing, PowerPoint development, email drafting, and completion of required e-learning. I also had the opportunity to attend and contribute to client, on-site, and internal meetings with Directors and Partners. Additionally, I built strong professional relationships through networking and coffee catch-ups with Partners and colleagues across the team, helping me develop my understanding of the business and expand my professional network.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was given a good level of responsibility throughout my internship. Alongside administrative and project support tasks, I had the opportunity to contribute to client and internal meetings with senior stakeholders, take ownership of assigned work, and build relationships across the firm through networking and collaboration. This allowed me to make meaningful contributions while developing valuable professional skills.
