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

My role as the Post Sale apprentice meant I was assisting the Post Sale team in all their day to day tasks. This included being on the phone lines, answering emails, and assisting clients in payment and shipping.

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

A lot. They were always there to help me come up with projects and to assist me whenever I needed it. They explained all the modules very well and would always give me extra support if I asked.

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

I think it has helped me quite a bit. I learnt a great deal about Excel which helped me in my role and has made it mucheasier to do.

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.)

Yes! We did quite a few networking events during the apprenticeship. At Christies, there are always networking events on and they put on lots of social events

9a. Would you recommend Christie's to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I believe its a great place to work. Lots of interesting things to see and do - it never gets boring. Everyone is so supportive and there are always opportunities to go above and beyond.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Christie's?

Don't be put of to apply if you don't have an interest in art. While Christies may be in the 'art sector', its much more than that.
