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

To be honest it doesn't for me as my role is more account management. there are aspects such as the sales process and understanding sales mentality but majority isnt too important and would benefit my role

Yes, we have sage foundation days, we used to go for drinks after work pre lockdown, we regularly as a team catch up on teams and we are looking to do more together after covid.

It is a happy place to work where managers try to help you further your career and truly want the best for you. I appreciate all that sage has done for me so far.

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

work hard. i initially applied for Sage in January 2018 and got declined due to experience. i persevered and came back in July 2018 and got the role. you need to work hard and not get disheartened if things dont go your way, instead prove them wrong.
