Summary

I have recently completed my A-levels at Blessed Thomas Holford College and I'm now looking for an Apprenticeship in Finance. I've really enjoyed studying Business studies A Level. It's giving me a foundation and I already have a basic understanding of business concepts which I'm hoping I can transfer to the business workplace. Studying Philosophy has helped develop my critical thinking , problem solving and ethical decision making which really benefits in the working world. My study of Sociology has also been useful to help me understand society trends and behaviours..
I am confident that my vibrant personality and optimistic attitude will help me excel in any workplace and situation. My ambition fuels my self motivation to achieve success and consistently perform at my best. I am deeply passionate and enthusiastic about learning and I am committed to excelling in my career.

  • I also spoke with the IT department where they showed me how they keep the business safe and protected from viruses/scams
  • They do this by using a website which secures all your passwords and makes them safe as well as carrying out test drills of what to do in case a scammer tries to hack the business
  • I also talked to the payroll administrator of the whole company where she explained how to calculate tax and pension as well as expenses
  • This work experience helped me to understand the company and how they stay on top of everything to ensure the business survives.
