  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • The first week allowed us to explore various departments within JP Morgan through a series of presentations. These were accompanied by skills sessions and group activities. The second week was more specialized, and I was able to explore JP Morgan's Private Bank at Knightsbridge. As part of my role, I was tasked with presenting to a panel if senior employees regarding a client scenario and how we would be able to assist them. In doing so, I was able to meet several employees across a range of jobs.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I definitely improved in my presentation skills following the intense pressure of creating content and having to present this to senior employees within such a limited time. My ability to network has also improved as JP Morgan gave us great exposure to a variety of people in the business.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by J.P. Morgan?
  • Although JP Morgan is an extremely large business, in my two weeks there I felt very valued. From the beginning, we received great hospitality in the form of breakfast and gifts such as a bag and notebook. Everyone was also allocated their own indivual mentor, and at the private bank, an additional buddy to talk to. Our hosts and organisers were also extremely friendly and welcoming, making us feel very valued.
