My first day at Moore Finance...

Hello, my name is Danielle Wilson and I am currently in year 12 at Future Tech Studio studying Business and Finance and Maths. I am very interested in Business and Finance. 

My first day at Moore Finance has been very enjoyable and I am looking forward to the rest of my time here as a Marketing Apprentice. At the start of today, I was introduced to everyone in the company and I was given a tour of the office so that I am aware of where to go. Next, I was given a folder which included: The company handbook, a New Starter form, a fact finder sheet and information about what Moore Finance offer to their clients. 

The fact finder task was helpful, because it enabled me to learn in detail about Moore Finance. Furthermore, the company handbook was useful in learning important information about working here such as: The Health and Safety procedures. In addition, today enabled me to find out what I will be doing during my work placement here at Moore Finance.

I believe that my work placement will bring me valuable work experience that will boost my CV and enable me to progress into my desired career in the future. In addition, during my time here I aim to realise my full potential and I will work very hard in order to achieve this.

I was attracted to this post at the Careers Fair at Future Tech Studio, because of the Marketing position that was being offered. I am very interested in Marketing and how companies have different marketing strategies so that they can achieve their business aims and objectives. I am also intrigued to how social media is becoming a large influence on companies as part of their marketing strategies. Moreover, when I spoke to the students who had their work placements at Moore Finance last year, it sounded like a friendly working environment that I would like to be a part of.  

Starting at Moore Finance

Hello, my name is Felicity and i currently attend Future Tech Studio based in Warrington. I am interested in business and finance so to follow my interest I'm studying Business, English and Maths.

My first day at Moore Finance so far has been more relaxed than I initially thought it would be. Because it was a basic introduction day to see what type of work I would be doing and to get a feel of the workplace during the tour given when I first arrived. The process so far has been very straightforward and easy to follow. Also the team has been very welcoming and have different but friendly vibes to them, so it was easy to get along with them and nice to meet them. The fact finder that I given to complete was also a very helpful tool in helping me to learn out more about Moore Finance.

During the interview stage that took place in the Career’s Fair at Warrington Collegiate business school what first caught my attention was the way Moore Finance’s logo stood out among most of the other companies logo’s in the room. The job post description for a Media Apprentice caught my attention because it stood out to me by fitting my interest of doing something outside of business while it still being something fun that interests me and I already have some knowledge on.

My placement aims are to gain general knowledge and experience in how a business operates from the front lines and to improve certain skills such as web design and video animation, whilst also improving my CV. These are my placement aims, but to also prepare and gain for when I enter the business world by building my own company some day in the not so distant future.
