SECTION A:
Welcome & Introduction

• You’re going to make more ‘paper’ than a
rapper.

You’re still a broke student and
you haven’t got that job.

This is just a foot in the door....

... (albeit you have some very
crucial feet in some very good
doors)..

Irrespective of whether
you’re feeling:

I want you to have an idea of want
you want and where you’re going?

So the point of this session…

My objectives for today are to
help you…

- Work out how to make the most
of your internship.
- Address the things that you dread.
- Produce a personal ‘plan of
attack’.
- Help each other.

This is an interactive session.

SECTION B:
Spring week vs. Summer internship

It is (still) an extended
interview...

It is (still) kinda
scary.
(Mwah hahaha!)

You are (still) part of ‘a
talent pipeline’.

They ‘ve got you early...
And want keep you.

And introduce you to
the ‘firm culture’.

In the short term at least...
...You will cost them money.

... it’s (still) a
two-way street:

A chance to turn
the tables...

... and ‘interview’ the bank, as it
were.

This is (another) chance to assess first-
hand:
- The firm
- The culture
- The people
- The work environment
- The work itself

• Not just with professionals
With industry
professionals...

With each other
... and each other – this is your
future professional network!

iii. Your chance to secure that
graduate job.

You will (still) be:
I. Attending lectures, seminars and
presentations.
II. Work shadowing professionals.
III. Going to networking sessions.
IV. Working on team projects (in
some cases).

Jot down 3 points each:
- Your objectives;
- What you’re looking forward to;
- What you’re dreading;
On your summer internship.

SECTION C:
“What’s my general strategy / approach?”

Suck the life out of this
opportunity.

Have a plan.
(More on
this later.)

SECTION D:
“What will the work be like?”

- Together let’s make a 10 tasks you
might have to do during your
internship.
(Include a time frame for each task.)
TASK NO. 3

At all times you will need to
do this:

An investment in you
- When you first start work you cost your
company money.
- As time goes on and you learn, receive
training and gain experience, you begin to
save your company money.
- If you become a revenue generator you will
then begin to make the company money.

Value of a new employee over time
You
Positive value
(making the company money)
Negative value
(costing the company money)

- Every action you take at work affects
your business.
- With every task, ask yourself how you
are adding value to the business – how
are you helping it to make money?
And with your tasks...

With any task, you are...
Making
£££
Costing
£££
Saving
£££

- For each task listed, indicate whether
you are making, saving or costing your
business.
- Consider both short and long-term
impacts.
TASK NO.3a

SECTION E:
“How do I maximise this internship
opportunity?”

And use your
support
networks:

FOR HOME, E-MAIL IT TO ME
BEFORE YOU START.

Get as much sleep as
you can (particularly
at weekends).

E.g. Do your
housework and
ironing on weekends

Plan your journeys ahead
of time.

Or wind up
like her
because...

SECTION F:
Professionalism vs. Personality

Last time I
started with a
question:

Answer: Both matter.
But perception creates the
reality of the situation
regardless of the actual truth.

Because personality is important.
Banking is about people.
People like personality.

Also, very often work is
boring... really boring.

And you don’t want
your colleagues to be
like this:

But what about being professional?

SECTION G:
What is it to be professional?”

What is entry level
professionalism?

1. Dressing appropriately.
2. Being punctual, every time.
3. Being prepared.
4. Being organised (having a pad or
noting appointments, tasks etc.)
5. Being respectful.

Professionalism
Image
Specialised
knowledge
Competency
Honesty, Integrit
y
Humility, Accoun
tability
Self-Regulation
Respect others

You need to be confident enough to
be honest:
1. With yourself.
2. With your ‘colleagues’.
And do not try to be who you think
assessors are looking for.

A safe pair of hands
This is the most important thing in any
business.
Reliable.
Trustworthy.
Dependable.
“Handles business”

Do what you say you’re
going to do, when you
say you’re going to do
it.

SECTION H:
Professionalism in practice

So how does one become a
‘safe pair of hands’?

EXAMPLE 2:
The likelihood of missing a deadline

EXAMPLE 4:
Discussing work in public places

EXAMPLE 5:
Personal calls in the office

SECTION I:
Tricky situations – what to do

SCENARIO 3:
Social media and your personal brand

SCENARIO 6:
Taking negative feedback

Thank you
so much. I
shall take
that
onboard.

SCENARIO 7:
Wanting to work on that other desk

SCENARIO 8:
Bad working relationships

MINI TIP NO.1
Be enthusiastic and positive with everyone.

MINI TIP NO.2
Socialise but make meaningful relationships.

This is not a
‘smash and grab’

Socialise outside of work hours
with professionals and peers (but
pace yourself and DON’T be ‘the
victim’).

MINI TIP NO.3
Acquire knowledge actively.

Use sources ALL sources of
information at your disposal
BEFORE, DURING and AFTER
the internship.

MINI TIP NO. 4
Respect others’ time.

So pick your moment to ask
questions.

And don’t complain about being
busy or tired to colleagues... Or
online. EVER.

MINI TIP NO. 5
Respect your time; manage it.

- Wear a watch – set alarms.
- Be early.
- Get organised: clothing, working out
where a meeting is.
- Spend your time wisely – plan ahead
when necessary.
- Keep a clear record of everything you
need to do – a WRITTEN task list.

Lists helps you to prioritise
(and at the very least give the
impression of organisation).

MINI TIP NO.6
Record your experiences - keep a diary.

MINI TIP NO.7
Manage expectations.

MINI TIP NO.8 (7a. really)
Acknowledge emails when you get them.

Don’t leave superiors like
this:

MINI TIP NO.8 (proper 8)
Ask (lots of) questions.

• - Ask questions when necessary (do not
suffer in silence).

- Ask questions when necessary.
- Ask the most appropriate person
and the right moment.
- Trust yourself: use your initiative
when you can and try to figure
things out for yourself.

MINI TIP NO.9
Speak English, not “professional”.

Avoid “professional speak”.

Subject: Re: JP Morgan event timings conflict between mine and Jo’s calendar
Dear Mr Stamen,
I sincerely hope that all is well with you and within your team at this present tiem.
Unfortunately, I believe that I have located a discrepenmcy within the timings of the
forthcoming JP Morgan event which has been organised by yourself, as the timings, which
are for 16th and 17th of July, respectively in both mine and Jo’s calendars at this time, do not
match. If you could please check and confirm which one of these timibngs and dates is
correct I would be most grateful to yourself.
Many Thanks Indeed, Kela Bingo xx

Stick to clear, simple language.
