Eloise Scotchbrook advises anyone looking for work to get the right skills and the Pitman Training qualifications for the job they want!

"After University I was worried about finding a job as the recession had created high unemployment rates.  Although I had learnt a lot about my degree subject, it is not enough for the employers on its own. I did not feel I had the practical skills I needed to be able to put my knowledge into use within the work place. I did not have the qualifications showing I could use the computer and offer the employers the high standard they would need.

The Pitman Training  Executive PA diploma was appealing because it covered lots of the areas I wanted to feel more confident with, also that I would need for any office work: Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook, typing skills and so much more.  It also included introductions to other areas such as Book-keeping and Effective Business Communication which I thought would probably come in useful and required within and office. I felt these skills and qualifications would be the extra advantage I needed over other applicants when I started applying for jobs. I knew that the diploma would look great on my CV because the Pitman Training name has been around nearly two centuries and the courses are so well known and respected.

I found employment very quickly after finishing the Executive PA Diploma, proving that I had made the right decision.  The skills I learnt help me on a daily basis to get through my workload quickly and efficiently, so I can only advise anyone looking for work to get the right skills and the Pitman Training qualifications for the job they want!"
