Applications Consultant Review

My daily tasks vary - no day is the same! I am given the opportunity to work on new things, which allows me to build my skills from the foundation upwards, and venture into new areas. I find myself speaking to a wide range of colleagues internally within the organisation, on a daily basis, and these work relationships grow over time, through frequent interactions and knowledge sharing. The same applies for daily interactions with external colleagues - I have found my network has grown enormously since first joining the organisation! Over time, my responsibilities have significantly increased as I become more comfortable, and my skills become more refined through experiences. Project work is exciting as I can see the impact which my work has, and how this feeds into the overall scope of the project.

I have learnt a wide range of skills since joining the organisation, such as: Communication, active listening, problem solving and organisation skills. My organisation provides an extensive list of sources where I can complete both internal and external training in many areas, allowing me to refine my skills, and even learn new ones! Personally, I can see the incredible difference in how much my communication skills have improved, and how my confidence has grown. Additionally, in my day-to-day role and activities, I am always thinking on my feet when faced with new challenges, thus strengthening my problem solving skills!

I take great pride in the work I complete everyday, as I believe it is a true reflection of myself and the organisation. I enjoy my work, because everyday is different, which is exciting because you do not know what the next day holds! The colleagues within the organisation are fantastic, as there is truly a strong team spirit culture - everyone is always willing to help each other! The organisation and my programme exceed my expectations, as I feel there is a strong support system, where everyone wants you to achieve.

Initially when I first began my studies on the programme, I felt highly anxious. I shared my worries with my organisation's internal support system, and they were incredibly supportive! They place high value on the individual, and their mental health. Training is also offered to us if we require more help with our studies, to help us improve.

Overall, my support system network at my organisation is incredible. I am reminded on a frequent basis by my mangers and mentors, to reach out if I ever have any worries. I feel like I can always talk to someone comfortably within the organisation, as I have such a variety of sources to speak to. They are always happy to discuss any problems I may have, e.g. if I am feeling anxious about university.

My training provider offers workshops if I wish to improve on some of my skills, such as my mathematical skills, to help with my module content. The different sources of support can be accessed through different means, e.g. the training provider's website, phone number etc. If I was struggling with my studies, I know I could reach out to them and receive support. Working towards my qualification is rewarding, because I am getting closer to achieving it.

My qualification goes well with my role within the organisation, as it helps me to transform my logical thinking, and see different business perspectives. I believe the content I am learning for my qualification helps me with my day-to-day role, as it helps me understand different areas, such as technical components and skills. This allows me to increase the scope of my knowledge.

There are many extra-curricular activities which I can get involved in, at my organisation. There are frequently company events, social events and voluntary initiatives. The social team events are fun, as it provides an opportunity for us to strengthen our work relationships. The voluntary initiatives are a great way to contribute towards the organsation, and give back.

Since joining Capgemini, I have transformed as individual. I have been able to achieve things I did not think I could. This is all because of the opportunities provided to me, by the programme and organisation. I am always looking forward to the next thing, as I know all these experiences help me to grow, within my job role.

Be yourself! Let your personality shine through during the application process - the organisation want to get to know you as an individual. During the assessment days, I would encourage you to ask any questions you might have. This will help give you an insight into whether you and the organisation would be a great alignment/match!
