Sales Apprentice Review

My day to day job is very much the same as anyone in sales. I'm always on the phone talking to clients and discussing deals. I also have to do all of the admin and working with people internally to get things over the line. There's also lots of support when needed!

My confidence has improved massively. Having to talk to people all the time and being in control of what I do really gives me a lot of independence. My soft skills have improved massively since joining. It has also helped me massively with my analytical skills. Having to work closely with lots of different teams really helps improve personal skills.

I think this program is great. It really offers a great mix of independence and support. There's lots of fun activities and a wonderful atmosphere within the whole company that make it really enjoyable to work here. Its very clear Softcat put a lot of effort and car into the program.

There's a clear structure to the program. We are really encouraged to take all the time we need to do to complete all of our coursework and make sure that we are getting enough time out of the office to work on our qualifications. This helps balance the mixture of office work and qualification.

There's a really great support system in place. I know there's always lots of people I can go to when I need help whether its a personal issue or a work issue. The atmosphere within the whole company really lets you know that everyone really is there to help.

We have a few really helpful and friendly contacts at the support provider. They are great at helping us with issues and giving us the support necessary to complete our work. Also the people within Softcat are really happy to help make time out of work and get things done.

The training really makes the job a lot easier. All of it is really applicable and helps in the day to day job. Its really good to learn something and then be able to apply that to our work and see the results. I think this job would be much harder without the training!

There's an awful lot to do outside of work. There's always things to do and everyone is really nice and helps apprentices get involved. It really helps with the work life balance. There's also good professional events that help with networking skills and getting to meet new people.

Yes

There's a great culture. Its a really fun place to work and there's never a boring day in the office. The work is also rewarding and there's a really great opportunity to push on and be really successful. Now that I am here, I don't want to work anywhere else!

They don't look for qualifications they look for people with personality and a drive to succeed. They care about whether you're a good fit and whether you have the right mindset and willingness to do the required work. The team are also really friendly so don't be afraid to ask any questions!
