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

I am a diagnostic, I work for Marks and Spencer and it is my job to try and fix their tills when I can. I also work for Primark and I have to sort their calls which come in as well.

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

Throughout this Apprenticeship I will gain level 3 diploma qualification. During my time at Fujitsu I have learnt quite a bit as there lots of things to do.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy working as a team, The company is good its self but I feel that there aren't a lot of opportunities. As on the marks and spencer side you all share the work, sometimes there isn't enough communication so that means sometimes you get 2 people working on the same till.

5/10

4. How valued do you feel by Fujitsu?

I feel that I need to more involved within the company as at the moment I feel that I have only learnt the basics. Recently I received an award for helping Primark which was nice.

7/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The support isn't very good, When you email the lecturer they don't reply back. At the start my programme was organised very well.

Yes

9b. Why?

Its ok for a starting point. In order to do well within this company I think you would have to leave and then re join again in a couple of years but for a higher role.

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

If you ever have an interview within Fujitsu, make sure you do your research. I would advise them that they have the right experience otherwise you may not know what to do.
