The Role
Overall it was a good year with ups and downs but has given me real working experience ready to move on after graduating into a good job,
The work I was doing had a purpose and therefore made me a valuable asset to the team.
Team leader was always there to offer guidance and support.
Disregarding the cyclical quiet periods at the beginning of each Quarter, I was kept busy every day.
I was given the chance to get involved with deals and influence the relationship between Business Partners and the company.
The specific role I had offered no real industry specific skills that will assist me with my degree studies but has strengthened the 'softer skills' that are much more valuable in getting further employment.
The Company
The office in comparison to other industry leaders is out dated and quite dull, largely due to higher management decisions.
I was led under false impressions upon applying to the job and was not the only one who had felt this way.
Not much at a placement 西瓜视频 level but Global Sales School as a graduate is a great experience.
Flexi Time
National Travel
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Somewhat limited due to the area of my study and clear lack of structure at a graduate level for quite a few people
The Culture
Was able to make great friends.
London prices
It is central London and there are many options
A few but it does depend on your personal interests and hearing about them
