5/5
Contract managers are only a phone call away so if I need anything I can call them and they will be on it asap

4/5
College is a bit messy it’s an online course instead of in person, website bugs sometimes same with teams call, just do a PowerPoint lesson most the time where you fill out questions on your device
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Very pushy on health and safety so I am always looking for hazards and how to prevent them
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Christmas meals that’s about it, however if you submit to a fundraiser the company will support it and they will sponsor
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Ian Williams to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I was very quiet as a kid but since I’ve been working here (7 months) everyone here is very welcoming I’ve made good friends good relationships not only with co workers but also tenants and it has taught me various things what people have picked up on and noticed about me so I would recommend it for a friend who was similar or a bit lost with what they want to do as it has put me on a good path
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Ian Williams?
If your not anything during your work time just give your contract manager a call they almost always answer if not quick to call back and always can answer your questions
