Hi Virginia,

I am very well thank-you.

I have been out in the field the entire time and have spent training days in various regions including that of the territory I will be taking over.

I feel the company has provided me with an excellent induction and given me the opportunity to integrate and learn so that I am confident to progress in my role and seek all the opportunities that the position offers.

I really enjoy being in the field and meeting people and have also learnt a great deal about the industry as well as the products, lines and position of them within the market place.

I am very grateful to you for seeking out this position for me as I am very happy in my role. Simplot is a fantastic company from what I have experienced. My colleagues are very supportive and are a great team to work with and I hope to progress my career with them in the future.

Kind regards,

Elle

Feedback – recently placed ProGrad graduate

by ProGrad

Hey Virginia,
 
I’m well thanks how are you?
 
Certainly enjoyed the week in Sydney, unsurprisingly the next few weeks haven’t been quite as good. The first couple of weeks have been okay, been a tad difficult talking to clients when I really don’t know that much yet, and had to perform a few monotonous tasks however thats to be expected. However once I have a firm grasp of insurance and the different products, and am settled in a role i certainly think I will enjoy it though.
 
As a company JLT are an excellent employer. Everyone is really sociable and have good sense of humour. Also there seems a lot of opportunity to advance in the insurance industry in general. Many of the brokers I’m working with don’t have a degree, however were promoted from admin/ data entry roles so i think i can go a long way particulary given the advantage I have of making this program.
 
Actually had a question for you- was just wondering whether or not we will still attend the prograd training days given the fact that we are in a graduate program as opposed to a usual grad position?
 
Thanks again for all your help, hope you’ve been well.
 
Dan – Insurance
