    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I found the internship great and it was very enjoyable to work in the office, it gave me a real sense of what the day to day life of a retirement actuary would be.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone treated me like I was part of the team from day one which made joining a new company a lot easier.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had plenty of training sessions and felt like I could ask anyone a question at any time if I was stuck

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was passed down work from members of the team, and so If the office was busy, I would be busy and vice versa, I always had something to be getting on with and would do a good amount of client work every week.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given the amount of responsibility you would expect from an internship, I was allowed to get on with work and then my work was checked by a more senior member of the team before it was used.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I feel the skills I have learnt would help me for a career in retirement although I cant see it transferring much to my final year of uni apart from me now being more fluent with excel.

    4/5
