Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role as a CRS apprentice is a relationships manager on a project. This involves speaking to each charity every week, supporting them with any issues and organising events for them to connect.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I love it. The training from the provider is excellent, they are incredibly supportive and work closely with you to ensure you have the best experience you can. I am also very lucky to have such a dynamic job which I love.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
So many!! I now know how to manage relationships, data and projects. I also have learnt so many skills around writing professionally, working across many teams and also developing public speaking skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Fairly well structured, I had 3 learning coaches which made the start a bit trickier but that was just unfortunate really. Since then I have 0 complaints for the training provider, and I'd say it is balanced well with my job. I think the job could be better adapted to suit the modules covered in the course but that's being picky.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
So much, I can't speak highly enough of my manager. He has made the whole experience so much easier for me and has provided me unwavering support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
So much, my training provider has put in regular EPA catch ups, as well as preparing us well in advance for what to expect.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel like it helps in some aspects, obviously your company won't always use the same methods that the apprenticeship suggests but there a lot of key skills which come in very useful.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Lots of volunteering, a few social events.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Amazon to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It won't be for everyone, but anyone who loves a fast paced environment and is hard working, I would 100% recommend.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Amazon?
Make sure to research the company for the exact role you want to do, and make sure you learn the leadership principles and see which ones you demonstrate (these are a big deal in Amazon!).
