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

    • 80/20 split, with the latter being learning, the 80% is focused on on-the-job exposure and software dev tasks that slowly ramp as I learn.

    10/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Team work, leadership, C#, SQL, HTML, CSS, JS

    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • Vodafone really cares about you as an individual and is generally inclusive. The course provider however is a little bit disorganised.

    8/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It's decent, you get exposure to everything you need, and much more which can be overwhelming.

    8/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Outstanding, I have all the help and support I need, with everyone going out of the way to ensure I'm settling in okay.

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Depending on the tutor responses may take a while, but they do the best the can.

    9/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • The theory is decent, but the brunt of the learning is done on the job.

    7/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Dozens, from coffee nights, to feel good days aimed at catching up with selfcare.

    10/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Vodafone to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It's a wonderful company that really looks after you.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Vodafone?

    • Be yourself, and give it all you've got!
