The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed it, the different tasks and creativity required to capture the audience was building.
My colleagues were supportive and we all shared information between us.
Elle was readily available which was terrific when in need of assistance.
On a daily basis it varied depending on the event at hand, whether it was promoting for an upcoming event or whether it was continual engagement in social media and prospects interested in FactSet.
Total responsibility was given on the success of the campaign at Aston University.
The skills developed were actively used in my degree studies, giving me more confidence in talking to people, knowing how to approach individuals whether they be students or professors.
The Company
Not applicable to my role as a student ambassador. I was my own office, in which the fun truly never stopped!
It was well organised in that I was aware of when events or targets where meant to be reached.
We had the initial training which was more of an insight into the company that we would be representing.

The Culture

Relatively cheap as we are in a student city.
Great.
