8.2/10

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

Speaking to a reseller/distributor, checking quotes have been both sent and received, forecasting deals, dealing with customer queries, etc.

9/10

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

Loads have improved; excel skills, presenting skills, knowledge of sales in general, knowledge of the IT industry as a whole. New skills; use of tools such as SAP, RMT, SFDC. Many new sales techniques.

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am really enjoying my program, I've been here over a year now and I can't believe my luck finding an apprenticeship of this quality. My team is amazing, the work is proactive which I enjoy, there's loads of young people and it has beyond met expectations.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

At the beginning, it wasn't as structured as it was now as I was one of the first sales apprentices but I'm glad I got to be one of the few to pave the way for new and future apprentices.

8/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

As much as I need, whenever I'm stuck or need help with anything I can ask absolutely anyone in the organisation for help and they always find time to help.

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

We have a dedicated 'training mentor' who is always just an email away from any support/help needed which is always nice to know.

9/10

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

The skills learned in my apprenticeship have helped me all the way in my role, specifically the sales side of it.

8/10

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 isn't an awful lot of regular extra-curricular activities I can think of, there's a Bootcamp every Thursday lunchtime I believe and they run several one off events.

3/10

9a. Would you recommend Hewlett Packard Enterprise to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

1. Career prospects. 2. Sales - I only know a few people in sales and feel it needs to be more well known. 3. So many young people in the organisation. 4. HPE really look after their employees with loads of benefits.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Hewlett Packard Enterprise?

Make sure to research the company/role, practice interview questions (even though you have no idea what they'll ask in the interview, practice some similar to help you feel more prepared), stay calm and be yourself in the assessment days/interviews, a good firm handshake - nothings worse than a sloppy handshake, and lastly, make sure you look presentable and professional.
