Hi everyone,
Really sorry it’s been so long since my last post but I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone after Christmas! Since I spoke with you last I spent two weeks back in the office working on a proposal and I have just started a new secondment with one of the mobile networks in Ireland!
The proposal work was really interesting and it was a completely different experience to working on site with a client. Basically if an organisation needs some work completed or have a particular project that they do not have the skills or resources to complete themselves they will put the job out to tender and it will be up to firms like ourselves to put together a proposal document that outlines how we can help them and answering any specific requests the company may have. It really brought back memories of college assignments except instead of the lecturer setting the guidelines this time it’s a real life organisation!
After Christmas I was seconded to a major mobile network in Ireland. I joined their financial planning and control team as a revenue analyst. This is a great opportunity to gain some first hand experience in a finance function and it’s also great to get some experience within a new industry. On top of that I am actually starting to apply some knowledge from my CIMA exams to my day to day role.
Speaking of exams, I started my first lectures last week as the next set of exams are in May. If I get these I will only have one exam left so I intend putting the head down over the next few weeks to try and get them out of the way…….although I wont know what to be doing with my evenings after that!
Anyway, I hope your all well and we shall catch up soon!
Cheers,
Adam
