I have had two different roles; one was working on the deployment team on the Virgin Media Project but currently I am working for The Post Office. With Virgin Media, I was tracking issues and testing and generally helping with the deployment. I had a extremely high level of exposure to the Accenture Leadership and Virgin Media Leadership too. I was given a great deal of responsibility, even leading a 300 device deployment. While on the Post Office, I have been working extremely closely with the client. Making sure that we are meeting their every need.
I have gained some excel qualifications, along with improving my overall office use. Not only this but I have gained valuable presentational skills. I have learnt how to present myself in the workplace.
Very much, I have worked as part of two extremely good teams and have enjoyed pretty much all of it.
Very. I have been given a high level of responsibility considering my age and qualifications. I am always rewarded for whatever work I have done.
I believe the training could have been more extensive as I was thrown into the deep end on my first project. However, I quickly adapted and was given a great deal of support from my team.
I haven't really had a training provider. However, I have received support from my managers/colleagues.
My mentor/manager/team have given me all the support I have required (see above answers).
Adequately. However, if I had to relocate to London (we is necessary for the scheme) I don't believe it would have been sufficient. Luckily I was able to live at home while on the internship.
There were very many! I have been on many networking events, a Christmas Party, I am part of the golf/hockey/rugby team. A member of the wine tasting club as well.
Yes
Because I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and think it is a great experience and company to work for.
Be yourself.
