car hire enterprise edinburgh

my name is hollie glover, i work for standardlife as a commercial leadership associate. my current role is within the business processmanagement team. my role at the moment involves meeting various colleagues accross the business,pulling together presentations and reports, also going along to various steering groupsand reporting our progress and managing a working group.a number of financial services companies have graduate programmes. typically they'll offeran internship which is something that sudents can do over the summer which can lead intothe full graduate placement. my programme is a two year programme and we do three tofour placements over that two year period within different areas of the business. soi started my work in the group communications

team working with the press team, the publicaffairs team and my currently role in the business process management team.the biggest challenge i've found to date has been leading a working group of people whoi have no authority over but i'm relying on to do work on the project to deliver and meetits objectives. on a day-to-day basis i'm typically basedin edinburgh, we have a couple of sites in edinburgh and obviously we have an officein london and longer term i'm hoping to move to some of our international offices, perhapsin hong-kong. the team that i'm in at the moment are fantastic- every day there's something else to laugh about and i think that's really what makesyour job and standard life in particular - it's

all about the people.typically what's involved in gaining a place on the graduate programme is a number of hurdles,assessment centres, interviews, psychometric testing, telephone interviews...they havea set profile on what they're looking for in graduates but then when we actually allmet we said 'oh right, i thought we'd all be quite similiar but we're not actually.'some of us are quite outspoken, some of us are much more reserved, some of us have travelleda lot, some of us have just stayed at home most of the time. some of us have alreadyworked, some of us havn't, i mean we're all very different but i suppoose there will bea few core attributes.

car hire enterprise edinburgh,a real misconception that i had starting wasthat there would be a significant jump from

university into the real world of businessand what i found actually is it's the basics that count and it's not been so hard a transition.you very quickly are able to transfer the skills that they teach you at university intoa working environment.
