The Role
Was a great experiance
My role was done by full time employeed on different products therefor i was just a valued as them.
My managers and support team were great, and always willing to help
After around 6 month i found i had free time due to understanding my core job role. At which point i was given a Job plus (a add on job not related to core role)
Managed a large account and given more responsibility as requested
I was able to link some of the content i learned in some modules to real life examples, However i found that alot of the time it doens't really relate.
The Company
People always happy to talk about non work topics, and good banter flying around
Given good training early on, and a good support structure set up.
Given training on key programs, and also sent on a business trip to train abroad.
