  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Customer Support Technician My daily tasks involve completing any emails and phone calls in which we recieve from our customers. I speak to many different teams within Fujitsu so we can sort the users problems out. I speak to the customers that we have on a day to day basis to deal with any problems they have. My responsibilities are to take phone calls and emails from users and to log their problems via TFS. We then either deal with these problems by ourself or we pass these to a support team to deal with. Every day I take phone calls and emails and log these via TFS and either deal with these or pass these to a support team.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • My salary package meets my costs very well as I still currently live with my parents and I just pay a percentage of my wage to living costs. My travel costs are quite expensive however my salary covers this off well. My daily costs are not bad as all I pay for is my food and a paper on the morning. My salary is also good for anything social I do as i sometimes go to the cinema on a weekend and I am able to do this. As I live about 12 miles away from work it is generally quite expensive to travel from home to work and back but I am able to cover off these expenses fine.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • We are able to do many company activities out of work. The colleagues that I work with sometimes organise to go out after work and this is good for team morale as we all get a long with each other. We are able to do many voluntary activaties as we do a lot of charity work for Shelter and we at the company are able to get involved in many different activities. We are currently try to start up a group where we can go out and help the local community. There are a few leisure centre's and Gyms around here and many of my colleagues use these facilities on there lunch break.

  • 9. Would you recommend Fujitsu to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because Fujitsu is a huge company and they offer a lot of different oppertunities within the company and because they have treated me i think this is a brilliant company to work for.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Fujitsu?
  • If you are applying for this company the first thing I would say is do it as this has developed me as a person and I have gained so many skills for working for the company. The application process is one of the key steps of getting in to the company so i would advise that you spend a lot of time gaianing as much knowledge on the company as possible. Gaining the information is one of the key attributes for the Interview as you will have to explain what you know about the company. All I would say for the interview is just act yourself as at the end of the day these are the people you are going to be working with so as long as you have a good personality and are keen and you want the job the employer will be keen to sign you on. Whenever you get offered oppertunities I would take them straight away as by taking the opportunities you are developing more skills and you will be able to use the different skills for different tasks and by taking these it will put yourself above everybody else. Before I startyed my apprenticeship I would of liked to know abit more of what my job entails as when I joined i was just stepping into a role which I didnt know much about but if I had of been told then I would of know what to do and I could of researched how it is done.
