What do you like about your job and the company?
Working for a soft drinks powerhouse, Coca Cola, I am fortunate enough to be an ambassador for them. My role involves continuously building strong relationships with outlet owners to get our brand out there for the consumers. As well as, creating awareness of our new and limited edition drinks for special occasions e.g. Christmas. I also get to go to two conferences each year to gain an understanding of how Coca Cola are performing and also allows me to socialise with other individuals across the business. Coca Cola provide excellent flexibility when I have personal priorities and management care for my well-being. Also, I get recognised for my hard work by senior management and board of directors by using an internal social media platform where I can share my wins.
Greatest achievements
Winning the yearly incentive and being No.1 in the country was a great achievement. Utilising the knowledge I have learnt from my manager and my team I was able to achieve the required targets for our brand 'Schweppes' in a short amount of time in the company. I posted my win via our internal social media app and it went viral in the company and my work was recognised by the board of directors.

Its important to have a career plan, break it down into chunks e.g. next 12 months, 2-5 years then 5 years plus. Make the right people aware of this plan. After all how can the leadership team support you if they dont know your aspirations? Then its important to understand what skills are needed to make the next move. Breadth moves are very usefully as it expands your overall knowledge which ultimately helps with career development. With all this in mind its also important to be flexible and adaptable. Seek out advice from senior peers who would have probably been in a similar situation in the past.

Dont be afraid to ask questions, its such a big (but exciting) move when looking to join a new company. We all use different terminology, and interpretations. Take the opportunity to ask as many questions to clarify your understanding of the role, what you need to deliver, but what will it also deliver for you! An employee that enjoys and feels satisfied that they are growing in the role, will be a happily and more productive individual. There is always someone available to answer questions, don't be afraid to ask!
