The Role
EVERYONE YOU WORK IS IS GREAT LAUGH, VERY SUPPORTIVE AND MOTIVATED. HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO WORK HARD AND HAVE ALOT OF DETERMINATION.
EVERYONE EXCEPTS YOU FROM DAY ONE, YOU ARE NOT MADE TO FEEL LIKE A PLACEMENT STUDENT BUT A VALUABLE MEMBER OF THE TEAM
EACH AND EVERY MANAGER IS WILLING TO GIVE YOU ADVICE AND SUPPORT. WHENEVER YOU FEEL STUCK OR HAVE A PROBLEM THERE WAS ALWAYS SEVERAL PEOPLE I COULD REACH OUT TO.
BUSY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT BUT THIS WAS A POSSITIVE THING, IT MADE THE DAY GO MUCH QUICKER AND ENABLED YOU TO LEARN QUICKLY AND AT A FAST PACE.
WHERE SHOWED THE BUSINESS ACCOUNTS FROM THE START, GIVEN THE REPONSIBILITY TO RUN THE OFFICE FOR A FEW DAYS WAS TRUELY GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSIBILTY AS A FULL TIME EMLOYEE WHICH WAS GREAT. NOT MANY COMPANIES WOULD TRUST A PLACEMENT STUDENT TO CONTROL THEIR ASSETS.
LIST IS ENDLESS ON THE SKILLS ENHANCED AND GAINED
The Company
VERY ORGAINSED FOLLOWED SAME SORT OF STRUCTURE AS GRADUATE PROGRAMME
HAVE SEVERAL TRAINING SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE PLACEMENT AND ALSO ON A REGULAR BASIS ARE SAT DOWN WITH MANAGEMENT AND GIVEN ON THE JOB TRAINING.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
The Culture
MANY OTHER PLACEMENT STUDENTS, I STARTED WITH 16 IN MY TRAINGING GROUP, WE WERE ALL PUT IN A HOTELL FOR A WEEK DURING TRAINING TO BOND ETC. STAYED IN CONTACT WITH ALL WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. ALSO MEET MANY MORE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS ALL BRANCHES ARE CLOSELY INTERLINKED
