incredibly helpful and supportive

COVID-19 has added an element of interest and I think it’s actually been a more worthwhile and enriching experience being a graduate at a bank at a time like this. It’s a really interesting opportunity to see how the banks react, how the managers and staff respond, how the whole economy reacts and see the interaction between all those players. The SHB team has been incredibly helpful and supportive. My line manager is always checking in with me to ensure I am okay and staying involved with the team and also checking whether I have enough to do but I am looking forward to returning to the office.

She’s been available to answer

Australian Internships and my supervisor Imante gave me a valuable help; she always supported me throughout the entire period, especially during the Covid-19 lockdown. She’s been available to answer any question I might have had, not only those strictly related to the job.
