7/10

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

I work with my colleagues to produce above-brand content with a focus to hit quarterly metrics. I look after updating the professional website and occasionally am assigned a new project outside of what I know.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes. How to use a multitude of new systems and how to communicate professionally on a number of platforms with a wide range of people.

8/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the flexibility that comes with the job and I thoroughly enjoy the fact that I get to work closely with a few people as it makes me feel as if I am really working as part of a team.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well in regards to content. It is, however, a little challenging to match up what I am learning at university with the work I do day-to-day.

6/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive a healthy amount of support. Depending how busy my colleagues are, I sometimes must figure things out by myself.

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

I receive lots of support in this area. It is clear that they are happy for me to prioritise my learning.

9/10

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

I feel as though my qualification helps me to make sense of the tasks I complete in my role, as well as giving me more theories to wrap my head around that I wasn't able to on such a deep level in sixth form education.

8/10

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.)

None so far but I have reason to believe that there will be in the future.

4/10

9a. Would you recommend Pfizer to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

If they are interested in what Pfizer stands for and are looking for a career relevant to the openings that Pfizer has annually, then I would definitely recommend it.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Pfizer?

It is single-handedly one of the best companies to work for so get excited if you get in! I would advise others to develop their understanding of Pfizer's values and network online with people who already work here. Get an understanding of what we do day-to-day and think about how you can contribute.
