Project coordinator Review

I assist the project managers around me on the projects they work on alongside with assisting the senior portfolio leads on portfolio management tasks. I am also currently running my own project where I am managing my own project team and driving the project tasks.

I have learnt how to use work, excel PowerPoint more confidently and have started to learn how to use MS project. I have also gained a lot of confidence from having to interact with more senior members of staff and even just the people i work with day to day.

I really do enjoy my programme. However the start of the programme where there was minimal communication was quite frustrating as I wouldve liked more information and communication.

In terms of what I do in my day to day job, it is very organised and structured. My apprenticeship programme is structured however they have just changed the whole exam and scrapped the other one and there is now minimal information around the new one.

I receive endless support from my employer. My manager ensures we have frequent 121s to talk about my progress and what I can do further. My manager and my mentor also always make themselves available for me if and when I need any help.

I do receive support from my training provider however maybe more frequent 121s would be beneficial especially when writing my case studies as sometimes i need some guidance on how to write them.

I think it helps me in the sense that it gives me some base knowledge around the principles of project management but some of the things I learn or we talk about is not relevant to my role so wouldn't help me perform better.

I have done some volunteering. However I haven't heard about any extra-curricular activities.

Yes

I like the company as everyone is very friendly and I think it is a very good company to work for.

I would tell them to do their research on the role they want to go into and do some background reading on the company before going to the interview and applying
