  Graduate Management Trainee

  I worked at Enterprise as a Graduate Management Trainee immediately after university. The management trainee program is a structured graduate scheme that enabled me to learn the skills of running a business on the job. I worked at different branches and this is a reflection of the progress I had made on the scheme and the willingness I have to help and learn in different environments with their own respective challenges. This was a role in a fast paced and challenging sales and service environment.In this position I learned several new skills from sales and marketing, to liaising with business accounts that I set up. It required me to get to grips with new technologies as well as the ethical values of the company. Whilst initially my sales were a weak point I have developed myself in this area and my figures are now constantly well above corporate average winning several internal competitions.
