Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role on a day to day basis involves a wide array of tasks. It mostly consists of beginner level audit tasks such as picking samples for testing, casting, updating and maintaining EGAs, communicating with clients, simple planning tasks and other admin tasks. While carrying out any job more than adequate coaching is provided and support is available at all times.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The programme is quite enjoyable as you are exposed to a variety of tasks rather than doing the same thing everything. You get to learn something new everyday while meeting new people as well. Also not everything is all about work as there a plethora of social activities to take part in which provide much required breaks and make the programme enjoyable as well.
