The Role
ProspectSoft is like a great big family, and with any new job, it takes time to settle in and to adjust but with the support and genuinely great people at ProspectSoft, I really feel like part of the ProspectSoft family now and this has made my placement a lot more enjoyable.
With many of the ProspectSoft members of Staff being past placements, it was easy to relate to them and they had a much better understanding of how I felt and what I was hoping to ahcive from my work placement. Through the Placement Academy, it is a great way for ProspectSoft to recognise your achievements.
From the start, I received both support and guidance from management and without this guidance I don’t know if I would have progressed as quickly as I have.
My work load varied on a day-to-day basis however in general I was kept busy and presented with new challenges regularly.
The skills I have developed from my placement are in invaluable, not only have my existing skills been developed but I have acquired a whole load of new ones. Being more specific, the real life business experience will defiantly help me relate theory to the business world.
The Company
A comprehensive training scheme at the start of my work placement with regular reviews and a placement academy scheme.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
ProspectSoft is continually growing and it would be great to be part of their success.
The Culture
ProspectSoft often held nights out on the town and social events which are great fun when everyone got together.
