The Role
I really enjoyed it, no day was the same got involved with a varitey of tasks so got to experience differernt parts of the business.
I was a big part of the team and had been there longer than some who came to me for help with their jobs!
Had a very supportive manager, monitored me and would get me involved with any areas of work that i wanted to work, or just try out.
Sometimes i was very busy and had long days other days were more relaxing!
i was in charge of running top events and met very senior execs who had no idea i was a student.
My first office experience and skills useful for my degree and rest of life if i go into a similar field of work.
The Company
FUN FUN FUN, casual clothes, play on xbox on breaks
very well organised, had work for me to do and not just other peoples left overs!
Lots of training courses both on the INTRANET and in groups.. presentation skills, soft skills in business and management skills were all refined!
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
I hope they employ me! but will have to wait and see
The Culture
Went out like once a week for drinks, paid for by the company :)
london is expensive! birmingham is much better!
reading was ok, nothing compared to brummie!
charities mainly and a few sports games, pretty good i thought, but its your own choice how much you want to get involved!
