Project Manager Review

My role is a project manager for the Advanced Analytics side of our business. To oversimplify, I help manage the different tasks that the team members do. Currently we have one main task that we all focus on, and some ad hoc tasks that some team members do. We project managers ensure that all tasks are recorded, tracked, monitored and ultimately are fit for the end brief.

Compared to my last few jobs this has been a breath of fresh air, I've improved my communication, confidence, and technical skills. Even my common sense has improved :D

The work can be challenging, especially now that I'm getting more involved. But overall its rewarding not draining. I'm really enjoying it

The structure is not as clear as I would like, as we are one of the first in our company. There is no concreate/agreed upon understanding of what the next steps is. But that is understandable

From my team I receive a lot of support, they are very understanding and help me see WWW and what could improve in all aspects of my work.

Unfortunately, the training provider has not been to good. All Degree apprentices on this course have had various issues. There seems to be a real disconnect. However, as the sessions are all online, this is bound to happen.

I do think what I'm learning is overall applicable. There have been various points were I have used what I have learnt in my D2D work

Yes, many football, parties volunteering. I'm surprised how much there is

Yes

I feel apprenticeships are a better career option anyway, but Toyota specifically has been really good. Although not perfect, this is definitely a good experience.

Sounds daft but just apply. I like cars and saw Toyota, I had no idea I would be working with data, but here I am.
