    • Due to the nature of the position I was in, we were very bust towards month-end, but this balanced out perfectly for the rest of the month. In general, there was always a consistent amount of work which always kept me on my toes.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • This skills I acquired did not enhance my degree due to the shire nature of the course, but I working for Experian gave me a true insight into what it is like to work for a large and complex global organisation and what working life is all about. The challenging and quick paced environment was a true eye opener and allowed me to use real life examples when applying theory to practice.
