What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Opportunities for responsibility, by this you are free to progress and develop at a comfortable pace, however it is always encouraged to take ownership of tasks; to be out of your comfort zone to enhance your professional development. Furthermore, there is so much in the way of professional and personal development opportunities.

Worst

When it comes to development opportunities, it can often be a little too onerous and long to achieve approvals for funding, I believe this could be due to the company structure and size. I expect this to be a common theme for companies with similar sized revenue and employee totals.

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Personality is key, I found that this was my best asset when at the Assessment Centre. Outside of the box thinking and working in a team harmoniously also went down well.

Do you have any interview tips?

I was given a mix of questions, and not all were competency based, many were situational. It is best to use experiences that are not just focused on your time at University. It seemed to me that the assessors want to see more than a sparkly education from a top school.
