Global Operations Executive Review

I am a Global Operations Exec working on implementing new systems to support the operation at the airline. This is mostly in project management/support by helping colleagues plan their activities to make sure we delivery key projects on time.

I have learnt more about team leadership and project leadership, along with learning more about finances and strategy in the business. These are probably the two main things that I'd say have been positives so far in the programme.

I do not particularly 'enjoy' the programme as I don't enjoy reading lots of academic texts. However, it has been useful and speaking to colleagues about the questions we've been considering has sparked some interesting thoughts & conversations.

Well structured as follows a clear set of modules within each area of the course. Sometimes the way in which announcements are made is not particularly well done.

I have recieved ample support in getting my 20% On the Job time to work towards the Masters. They have supported me when I needed to host questionnaires and surveys as well.

It's been a mixed bag here. There are support options but overwhelmingly we are left to our own devices to do the training and/or assessments.

In my current role, perhaps not as much as it could. However in terms of team leadership skills and understanding how companies work more generally, it has been useful. I think in future roles it will be more helpful.

There are sports teams and walking clubs etc., or there were before COVID.

Yes

It is a good employer who offer support to colleagues in their development goals. In addition it is an interesting business in an interesting industry.

Be honest and forthcoming with your experience in previous work experience. Most colleagues are trying to get the best out of you in interviews so put your best foot forward.
