  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • In my first 6 months with the bank, I feel that my confidence has grown as I have interacted with various people across the bank and also with clients on a regular basis. My team, my manager and the work that I do have helped me gain a better understanding of the banking sector. RBS truly believe in investing in their people so there are courses and support available for anyone willing to learn and develop their skills. There are also quite a few networking events within RBS. I have enrolled onto to a few courses (credits skills and pm analytics). These courses will help me in my job role as I will have a better understanding of our customers' business so we can ultimately offer the right products and solutions to them.
