  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • During my work experience at M&G Investments, I worked with the Experienced Hires Resourcing Team which is a department of the Human Resources Team. I learnt about new systems such as PageUp and SHL. I had to monitor emails and use SHL to send Online Testings to any candidates. I attended meeting with members of the team. I also had meeting with members of the other departments of Human Resources. We met with the new CEO and were provided a chance to question her about role and her journey to where she is. We attended the Apprenticeships Insight Evening which was about the choices available to us after college or sixth form. We learnt about the different ways and stages in our education we could get an apprenticeship. They also organised a workshop in which we were advised about CV’s and interviews.
