8.2/10

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

I practice using various systems and processes to highlight any potential risks on working with a client and recording important information about an engaging party. This involves both internal and external communication via emails, phone calls and daily meetings.

6/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have become more confident on communicating with seniors in the team in through emails and phone calls. Building knowledge on excel is a fundamental skill. Organising data has been helpful in locating necessary information. Familiarising myself with complicated systems and becoming efficient with the process.
