  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role involves looking after the relationship manager and completing all tasks that they request. I often answer customer emails and reply to any queries. I speak to customers via the phone and in person. I make sure that the relationship manager has all of the required information on file in order for them to proceed with their application.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I really enjoy my programme, however I do feel like that there is a lack of support in order to progress through the job role, from the external programme. I think that they could be more attentive, however I do understand that they look after a huge amount of people and it must be hard to contact everyone at once.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My programme is fairly well structured. HSBC have arranged quarterly visits to their main office in Birmingham which enables everyone to get together and discuss how everyone is getting on. I think that we are given a good amount of air time and get to give our view on how the programme is being run.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I receive a lot of support from my employer they are very helpful and understand my needs. I would recommend my employer to anyone. HSBC really care about their employees and are able to give us the support we need to succeed and progress within our career. HSBC is a good place to work.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I don't receive a lot of support with my course, I think that the company have forgotten about the course as they tend not to check on you after 5 months in. I think they started off being fantastic, however something has slipped. It could be better, but there may be some changes later on in the year.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There are a lot of extra activities that I can get involved in at work to help me progress within my job role , I often look for new courses that can help me with using the software and processes. There is always something new to learn and new activities to get involved with.
