The Role
Relevant to my area of study; will provide support towards a professional qualification.
My strengths were utilized, e.g. language skills.
A lot of efforts have gone into the training.
Because I am a new starter, it was normal not to have a perfect balance.
This is normal at the start. As I will progress, more responsibility will be given to me.
The role was relevant to my degree. As such, it helped me apply some of my knowledge. Also, the role will allow to study towards a professional qualification; which is the gold standard in the industry.
The Company
A good business environment.
It was very organised. I was given a timetable at the start; to help me know where I should be and when.
Employee time. Moreover, they will be investing in me heavily in the future.
I was awarded a permanent contract!
The Culture
Everyone was friendly!
Barbecue I lived next to the company, it was very convenient.
It is located in one of the main hubs in the region.
There is a dedicated intranet website for employees.
