  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I was a work experience student. I was given admin tasks on the level of trainee work. I was introduced to everyone in each department when I arrived so I continually interacted with everyone. We were given a talk in the mornings about different department in the firm form the trainees who work in them. For the rest of the day we would do work in a department. We were given constructive feedback on every piece of work. On the Tuesday we were given many documents and evidence and roles to act out a mock employment trial on Friday morning.
