  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I generate changes to an application used for data warehousing documents. It can involve changes to the script or to the appearance of forms/documents themselves. With this application there is a lot of responsibility as they can be legal or regulatory documents and can be very technical. Users can face issues with the applications and so in the mornings I will review any incidents and then resolve their queries on top of my role with change requests. There are several steps that I have to go through with each change request which require a lot of communication between myself and the customer.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have been enrolled on extra courses at college for Excel training. I have also started in this role with no knowledge or experience with scripting, which is now a new skill that I have learnt.
