Deborah Rowell was unemployed for Over 6 months before gaining the opportunity to be a Document Producer at Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service. She started on 24th of May 2010.“Getting this opportunity means I that I will gain transferrable skills that I can refer to in the future and that will give me the experience needed to further a career in administration of a similar office position.”
“My role as a Document Producer involves writing up new Standard Operating Procedures for CFRS.I also helped to cover reception when two of the receptionists were on leave. Tasks I have also done include: using the tannoy system, answering the phones, transferring calls, I’ve used the databases, excel spreadsheets, word documents, and the email system.”
“While on my placement I think I’ve proved to myself that I can work well when given a range of responsibilities. I’m really proud of the work I have done so far. Also knowing that future employees will be following the guidelines I’ve set out for them and maybe find it helpful to them in some way is a very nice feeling.”
“I really enjoy working with everyone within my placement. The people are all very friendly and have made me feel welcome here. I feel privileged to have found a placement with so many nice people who are always willing to go the extra mile to help you.”
“I would highly recommend the Future Jobs Fund scheme to anyone who is looking to pursue the career they want. You will receive help and guidance throughout the placement which helps greatly. I have found that this scheme has been a great learning experience and have gained many new skills.”
