It turns out that the most impressive-sounding work experiences are not necessarily the most rewarding. Chisato, ex-big-six with a rather splendid scientific mind, immersed herself in real-world work this summer. She was immediately promoted to a maternity cover as she proved so much more impressive than the average intern. Hurray for the confidence and maturity that NLCS instils! Here is what she writes about her 8 weeks of hard graft in the real world of work. Sixthformers heed her words - Excel skills are useful!!!
"Through a personal contact through the Maths Department, I worked at the recruitment company Total Jobs Group, located in the snazzy Blue Fin Building in Southwark. I helped match account records on Salesforce (which is a Customer Relationship Platform) and enrich registration and contact details of companies so they could be passed on as leads to the sales team. I also helped fill in the trackers for managers to analyse their team’s performance and build a custom report on Salesforce. It was a great opportunity to practise some self-taught Excel skills and gain experience navigating through Salesforce. The working environment was very pleasant and I enjoyed having lunch with my friendly colleagues as well!"
