Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
as a buying assistant i do most of the admin part of the job like uploading fit comments so suppliers can see, amending and submitting PO's on systems, handing over samples to be shot to go on site and give updates to my team from whoever we work with
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Although it's so so busy, it's something I absolutely love and wish to sstay on after the apprenticeship is over
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, lots as I've never done this job before!
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
very organised !!
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
lots however it would be nice to have more 121 catch-up with my line manager just because I'm still very new! In terms of apprenticeship catch up they are monthly which allows us enough time to have something to feedback on
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
lots they are always on hand but aren't always good with their replies
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I can transfer most of my learning to my role
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
there seemed to be at the start but I feel more recently its only for ASOS insiders
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend ASOS to a friend?
Yes
Why?
they are so supportive and welcoming and have never made me feel uncomfortable. They offer so much in return for the work its employees put in and they make work not feel like work and something to look forward to on a weekly and daily basis
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to ASOS?
be yourself!! ASOS love authenticity and are so accepting to everyone
