Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My day to day job consists of dealing with data in order to ensure that we can maintain within our budgets for our specific stakeholders.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am enjoying my programme a lot, it is a lot of information but i haven't been pushed too hard and have been given ample help in order for me to succeed so far.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've learnt basic excel skills whilst also learning knowledge regarding accounting and finance to bolster my understanding of my future responsibilites
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is pretty organised as i have now got a future timetabl ein mind in order to balance work and studying
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been so supporting the whole time, whenever I have questions regarding the information or even when it comes to my wellbeing and how comfortable I am. Everyone in my team and also our apprenticeship inductors are very helpful
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There hasn't as much support from my training provider compared to my employer but that is due to the amount of contact i have had with them so far. From recent communication, they were very helpful in making a feasible plan and also being critical in my learning journal so that I can maintain my progress
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The knowledge that my training provider will be providing me will hopefully deepen my understanding of the course I am in. I am going to be using the knowledge to apply to my day to day job so that i can be an asset to my team and help them out more.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There is always something at ASOS to do that will either further your knowledge or give you a break from the work life which is what I love about working here. Not only do they exist but they are encouraged to be done by the team as well which is what really make you feel at home
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend ASOS to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Perfect environment is what I feel, even with the stigma around working within finance there hasn't been a day so far that work has felt like a chore whether it is at home or the office. This is fully due to the culture here- instead of being critical they are encouraging and it really just makes you enjoy working at a company like this.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to ASOS?
Be yourself- I feel like I'm only here due to the idea of working at a company like ASOS that let me bring my true authentic self during the recruitment process. They look for genuine souls that care about the work they do so they can make the bigger and better difference to help the company and being apart of that means bringing your personality and your own ideas.
