Overview of Role

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

My role in operations is to support the day to day functions in the bank. I had two rotations: one in credit middle office and one in global market operations (collateral management). Each days used different systems to aid the bank operate efficiently. On a day to day, was in contact with front office divisions as well as clients to make sure the bank runs smoothly.

Yes throughout my internship, my managers gave me adequate amount of responsbility and tass, which were completed to the best of my ability.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Yes learnt many new skills. Such as understanding what this division does as well as using different types of company applications as well as learning industry specific skills. The most important skill that I learnt was confidence and emotional intelligence. Talking to different people everyday allowed me to be really confident enabling me to take these new characteristics outside the work life.
