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

Not very much, they have provided the necessary documents and video resources to help us but I think as time goes on it seems to be a bit outdated.

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 plenty, we have 9 Employee Resource Groups which are great networks with everyone across the business that you can connect with and I'm also a part of the Ear,y Careers programme which supports you through your first two years working here - very grateful for this.

9a. Would you recommend Experian to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Depending on what they're looking for, it can definitely be a place for development and really building your skills whilst having the opportunity to add value and I'm grateful I started my role fresh out of school.

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

Definitely read up on roles that align to what your strengths are and make as many connections with people you know of already, LinkedIn really helps when finding out more on the people interviewing you.
