My role consists of checking and comparing financial statements such as invoices over the past few months and making sure that they have been recorded correctly without any errors or intentional mistakes. Requires social interaction and finding new ways to approach situations which i enjoy very much.
Ive developed my excel skills and have created shortcuts for myself which has made my work experience and my technological skills much better. It means that i can multi task at a faster rate and made my work day faster. Ive also become more confident socially.
I enjoy my programme to a large extent whereby im constantly meeting new people from different cultures, experiencing different sized clients and approaching many different systems which all defer from one and other. Im also learning different skills that can also help me with my personal life too.
I believe it is organised to a good extent. I feel comfortable asking questions and i am always receiving emails that relate to upcoming exams, reminders to things that i have not completed or things that are due. However i know there's a lot of us and responses sometimes take longer than needed.
I am very comfortable and received ton of support from my employer, especially having begun the programme after a huge loss in my life. I felt that everyone was there for me and tried to help in the best way possible.
I believe i couldn't ask for any more support than i have already received so far regarding my qualifications and i am very satisfied.
I feel as though it has helped me understand my work a little better but i have also not really stumbled across any of my study work in my normal day to day work as of yet so it is a little hard to answer.
My work offers a huge range of extra curricular activies such as football, quiz, etc.
Yes
The education. the work, the salary, everything you receive is great and you get a good amount of experience to help your future career decisions.
