Today I had the feedback about the Credit Card Commentary, he asked me to change some points, but overall the report is very good and my Excel skills are excellent. So I start to change the points.  

(Week6) Monday 21-03-2011
Today I completed the Credit Card Commentary and submitted to him, he was discussing the report with the Credit Card team. The CC team was very happy and they appreciate my work.  

(Week6) Tuesday 22-03-2011
This day was very important day because Mr. Aasim will present the project to SCB management with my name on the report. I was so happy about that because I felt that I achieved another step in my internship.

(Week6) Wednesday 23-03-2011
This day I moved again to work with Mr.Faraz to have my next assignment, but he was busy and he asked me to wait for a while!
I was waiting till 1:00, after that I went again to him and he gave me a Document for mortgage loan Quality Assurance check. Mr.Faraz explained the purpose of these Docs and asked me to have at least 3 additional positive points on the mortgage QA checklist.

(Week6) Thursday 24-03-2011
 I finished my reading on the mortgage QA checklist and I had some questions, but Mr.Faraz wasn’t here. I went to Ms.Meeta to ask her to give me work to do, she asked me to complete khadija’s work on CCPL approval checklist.
I start working on the CCPL approval and I completed around 100 companies from the list

Week 5 in the Standard Chartered Bank

(Week5) Sunday 13-03-2011
Today I’ll work on totally new project for SCB called Credit Commentary on Credit Card with Mr. Aasim. It was a big challenge for me because I have to do it with new employee called Alya, she’s from Sharjah, and she studied travel and tourism and she’s having a trainee for 6 month with SCB. I was hard because I am not expert on Credit Card and she doesn’t have any background on this sector. But we started putting the data.

(Week5) Monday 14-03-2011
I suppose to work on Credit Commentary with Alya but she was absent, so Mr. Aasim told me to continue working on it alone and he told me that he trust me and I can do it. I was nervous and at same time very happy that they trust my ability.

(Week5) Tuesday 15-03-2011
I was completing my work on Credit Commentary.

(Week5) Wednesday 16-03-2011
Today I finished the half part of Credit Commentary and I was very good for me and Mr. Aasim appreciated my work and encouraged me to try and finalized by end of this week   

(Week5) Thursday 17-03-2011
 Today I finalized the report and I was waiting for Mr. Aasim’s feedback but he was on a meeting till 6:30 pm.

Week 4 in the Standard Chartered Bank

(Week4) Sunday 6-03-2011
This day was the worst day ever, because they were restructuring our workstations and changing the places. I was looking for my table for almost 3 hours!
By end of the day I finalized the summery and I was waiting to submit and present it to the landing manager. Tomorrow I’ll start working on the PL (personal loan) with Ms. Meeta.

(Week4) Monday 7-03-2011
I suppose to work on the personal loan, but Ms. Meeta told me she don’t have anything for me!
After that Mr. Faraz told me to work and help Khadija with her assignment because they don’t have any plan for me this week, which was strange because I had my weekly plan but unfortunately I wasn’t working as my weekly plan.   
(Week4) Tuesday 8-03-2011
Today I was working on company verification regarding the credit card with Mr. Aasim. I liked the work because Mr. Aasim gave me the chance to decide if the SCB will give a credit card for a customer depends on their company’s portfolio.

(Week4) Wednesday 9-03-2011
Today I finished the checking list for company verification. After that Ms. Meeta asked me to prepare question paper for a 10th of March Game, this game only for the Credit Card & Collection Department. I also met Zuwena and Heba from CB Academy and they asked me if I need any help or if I have any issue with the department.

(Week4) Thursday 10-03-2011

(Week3) Wednesday 2-03-2011
I want through the last agency and report it, than I had permission to go to DWC to have my enrollment conformation done. After that I was writing my summery about the best agency.
I was very excited because Mr. Faraz told me that I have to present my summery to the Landing Manager Mr. Pharat.

(Week3) Thursday 3-03-2011
 This was my busiest day because the head management decided to re-structure and squeeze the department, so Mr. Faraz was very busy I couldn’t reach him. After that I went to Mr. Aasim the head of credit card policy and ask him if he can assign any work for me.
I was very happy because he was kind and helpful because he gave me a brief introduction about the credit card and what are the features that they look at to approve for an application form.
