Placement (10 Months+)

ASMPT

How have you found it, settling in to the company and you role?

Settling in to the company and my role was very easy and smooth. I had the chance to be mentored throughout my placement which helped me in always learning and not feeling lost. At first, there was a lot I had to learn and understand about the company and its procedures but I received all the support I required, whether it is from my mentor or colleagues, to become up to speed with everyone else.

What do you enjoy most about the role?

Working in the customised products department gives me the chance to work on several projects at the same time. I enjoy this the most about my role since each project is different from the other where I am able to learn something new while working at each project. Moreover, this has helped me immensely with my multitasking skills where I have to stay up to date with every project in order not to miss any deadlines.

Does the company and role meet your expectations?

Working in the customised products gave me the opportunity to become creative and innovative to come up with solutions that will meet the customers’ needs. In addition, I was given the opportunity to lead and manage my own project and report my findings to different departments. I was also able to work in a team for other projects which required me to be a team player in order to achieve the final goal of the team.

What has ASM done to make you feel safe at work due to the pandemic?

ASM has been very supportive to me to make me feel safe at work due to the pandemic. For example, they made it possible for me to work remotely from home when it is not required for me to be on site where they provided me with a disk, chair, and all the needs to make me comfortable to work from home. Also, several measures are taken on site to ensure the safety of everyone such as the availability of hand sanitising stations, temperature monitors, face masks, and etc.
