Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Designing kitchens, bathrooms and home office's, and selling them to customers. Listening to customers wants and needs, while advising products that best suit the customer and practicability. Overseeing and managing multiple customers projects at one time, being organised and communicate openly.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Was a very enjoyable programme. I personally did not feel overwhelmed with the workload, as long as I was given enough time to complete tasks. It helped me enter the new job role gently, which I believe helped to shape me into the Design Consultant I am.

Absolutely. My confidence has grown massively, communication skills and my creativity.

Many of the webinars were booked in advance for us to work around which was good, there was a hand full of times webinars were cancelled last minute or re-scheduled.
