One month on

In my first post I gave a fairly brief explanation of the Future Jobs Fund Scheme and only touched on my experience at Novas Scarman Group. Admittedly I couldn’t think of too much to write regarding NSG since I had only been working here for a fortnight (six days to be exact). It has now been a month since starting and I would just like to say what a friendly and worthwhile organisation Novas is to work for. I would also like to talk a little more in detail about the useful training that has been offered to me so far.

Last June I purchased a selection of ‘Happy Computer’ Tutorial packs hoping to improve my excel, word and outlook skills. I got as far as the fifth page of the excel pack before consigning it to the bin and despairing over the twenty pounds wasted (a fortune when you’re out of work). The problem wasn’t that they were difficult to follow, rather, being unemployed, I had little in the way of a routine and was finding it difficult to motivate myself to do them.

Since starting Novas I have had training sessions in both outlook and word which have been really useful. These sessions are designed to teach you all the main aspects of these programs. For those who have worked with these programs before, time is offered to address any areas that you are unsure about. Instruction packs are also provided with these sessions. In one month I feel that I have greatly improved in these areas, this is something that I can take with me to my next job.
