Victoria Whittaker PRODUCT MARKETING EXECUTIVE Why did you choose to join DHL after you graduated? " I chose to apply for the DHL Graduate Programme because of the way it was structured. Rotating through three different functions meant I experienced working with different managers and teams, and got involved with some cross-functional projects. I hadn't seen any other graduate schemes like this. Getting to experience Sales, Continuous Improvement and Marketing has been really valuable for me. " What opportunities have you gained from your time with DHL? " I've had so many opportunities within my roles, but some of the best ones have come from outside my job. I love all the training courses I've been on because I've got to meet so many people across the business. I've also been involved with a GoTeach scheme, I'm a CIS facilitator and I got to take my mum to the O2 to watch the ATP tour two months after I started working! " Would you recommend the Graduate Programme at DHL and why? " I would absolutely recommend the DHL Express Graduate Programme as it's a fantastic company to work for. I felt so welcomed right from the start and it really is like joining a big family. "
