You get to work, before 9, not after!! Or as many of you know, you’ll either have the old bag screaming at you or a nice slice of your pay cut off, possibly both if you’re unlucky.
When that inevitable sound of the bell rings at 9, and work has officially started, you really do notice those small sounds i.e. keyboards being typed, paper being shuffled, clicking of the mice, phones ringing ETC, these are the sounds of the office. When you hear these sounds everyday you slowly stop noticing them.
As an apprentice we have seniors or more specifically assessors. Assessors to the apprentice can be seen as a sort of teacher. They sometimes do work shops where you learn Microsoft Office or they give you unit work, to put it simply its course work.
Today I’m doing unit work; in fact this blog is part of my unit. I am also given the responsibility of front desk reception. Within this responsibility I am required to answer calls, pass on messages and help where I can. And off course assist guests.
At the end of the day I will be cleaning the office that can involve hovering, dusting, taking out the bins, washing the dishes etc which you may think is a little bizarre! And I agree it’s an IT apprenticeship but we also clean.
