Farah has recently started working for the Peterborough Women’s Enterprise Centre as an Administrator Assistant/Event Co-ordinator.Getting this opportunity means a lot to me, as it has given me a chance to gain experience in an office environment and dealing with clients, which I have never done before.
My job role involves various different duties such as, taking/making phone calls, keeping track of client records on the spreadsheet database, attending events and stock taking.
I hope to be able to build my confidence up. I want to be able to handle clients and customers in the correct way. I also want to be able to gain more skills with the IT side of my role, which will benefit me in the future
I’ve been here for 2 weeks which have been very enjoyable. I was given all the help I needed; I didn’t feel as if I was a new member of staff, but more like a part of the Women’s Enterprise Centre team.
I would DEFINITELY recommend the Future Jobs Fund to other unemployed people. Because of the Future Jobs Fund I was able to get my life back on track. A whole year when I was looking for work and wasn’t getting anywhere was very hard to take, but now I have the chance to gain so much more experience and get some of my confidence back. I think this is a fantastic chance for people who have dreams and aspirations.
I think that the Future Jobs Fund team were extremely helpful, and have given me really good advice, such as retaking my maths GCSE. I was planning to retake it next year at university, but the Future Jobs Fund has given me a brilliant opportunity to retake my maths GCSE.
