During the summer of 2023, I had partaken in an internship with BP in Sunbury, London. Throughout the week I was able to speak to many employees from all areas of the company, in particular employees who specialised in the finance department. Learning about their role in such a large international company is one of many factors I have decided to go into finance. Their role involves skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and an aptitude for numbers which is why finance is an appropriate career for me, having already obtained these skills throughout my lifetime.
