My role is doing Enterprise Account Administration Support which basically means I support the UK Technical Account Managers in all their admin needs. My specific role entails sending out email comms with over 4000 UK customers, working on onboarding new customers to Premier and supporting high security customers.

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

My assessor I had at QA was such a huge help in my qualification. Without her I doubt I'd have done as well as I did! She always seemed very willing to offer help and support whenever I needed.

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I feel like the wage I have received has left me with a good amount of disposable income. With my shopping addition it was a stretch at points but I've learnt to live with what I get. Good life lessons.

9/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

There are loads of groups/clubs to join however I haven't expanded into them personally. I have made a lot of close friends here though who I see out of work. I've also been able to get involved in volunteering days.

6/10

9. Would you recommend Microsoft to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Its such a good experience to get! Starting your career at Microsoft is such a good base, you can get experience in pretty much anything you can think of. Also its such a great environment to begin in as its so helpful and welcoming but they also push you and expect a lot. Responsibility is very quick to come your way so the feeling you get from working there is very worthwhile!

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Microsoft?

Prepare yourself with knowledge of Microsoft and it's values. If you show you have the same values as the company then its easy to see you fitting in. Be yourself - no one want to hire someone who brings no personality, especially at Microsoft!
