Partner Channel Marketing Manager. Internal comms, writing newsletters, digital advertising, working with partners.
Skills include: general writing e.g. blog posts and newsletters. Also completed several marketing qualifications throughout. Also improved my team-building skills.
I do enjoy the degree - it is challenging but interesting at the same time.
Not as valued as I used to - when I first started as an apprentice i felt that I was allowed to get involved in new projects and communities, although now I have been here for over 2 years (still an apprentice) those opportunities are only for new apprentices and I can sometimes feel quite excluded.
The support from the university is good and the support from Microsoft is also good with regards to the training.
The support is good although it can be quite difficult to get hold of lecturers due to remote working
The support is good - e.g. we are having a roundtable this week to discuss how the course is going
With regards to living/travel/daily costs, the salary meets my expectations.
There was for me when i first started, hardly any now.
Yes
Overall, the company is a great place to work and the ethos is good.
Be yourself! Build on your best skills and use them to your advantage.
