The Role
Was a very good experience feeling very comfortable with the team, they are always smiling, and help you with anything also when they realise that you are struggling with the task assigned. the thing the i most appreciated was they way that i was felling comfortable even if was the first time that i was working with them.
we had a very strong connection between one another, helping each other in case of difficulties, I believe this is what the word teamwork means, and when you work in a company like this, you have to make sure that anyone feels comfortable with you as you are with them.
i was very grateful to have persons like my manger and supervisors, they helped me in a very successful and efficient way, showing me everything that is necessary and teaching me also the best way to having a very good conversation with a customer. They showed how to feel confident and also how to deal in case of pressure or stress.
I was quite busy, there were few tasks to make sure that everything was perfect and also they really care to the details. So there was a lot of work to do but if you do in the right way and with right people there is a lot of to enjoy also when it is very busy.
Because I have been there just for a short period of time, I did not receive a lot of responsibilities, I had a few checks that were very important, for me where the most important responsibilities for my rank and order, as beginner the responsibility were not many, as you grow you will be more surrender from it.
Thank to this placement, that I have been very grateful off, i did develop very important skills for my future career and work, also when i went back to university i felt that the skills acquire helped me a lot to deal with my studies and being more confident even during my projects.
The Company
the office that I was dealing every day with, was amazing every one very positive, willing to work, making you feeling that was a right work placement, based on my personal experience a work placement like this is very helpful, because a big company like this need a great office as where i have been to.
The work was really organised in the right way, even if i believe could be a little bit better, because i am very tidy person, so for my point of view organisation is fundamental to have an efficient work. it was organised but as paper work there is a big lack.
the invested me, because of my potentiality, because of also the services that you offer to a company, meaning that having a good charisma and personalty, being smart in taking a the best decision in a very small time frame and having a deep knowledge of where and what you are working for is important to companies of this level.

If i will choose to have a career this kind of field i will definitely choose this organisation, because of the great possibility of having a great career and also because, is not easy to find a positive mind thinking team as is possible to see in this company.
The Culture
yes and I have been one of them before, there is great help especially for them, when they see that someone is willing to do a great job especially in improving the company. So if someone is willing to improve a share a great job automatically the doors are open for a better career.
Depend from the journeys but usually they make sure that the living cost and expense are in your salary, so basically is possible to a afford anything that is necessary for you, but not all the time. this also is different form person to person but usually the company help you a lot for it.
I am not big fun on nightlife, but because i have been just a few times looks very good and surrounded from people that want have fun making you enjoy as well
yes there were some opportunities as sport or gym, because in this kind of job, from my personal opinion staining in shape, and have a good body gives you more stamina and better work. So there were also other activities, to have fun after work and relax the body.
