What do you like about your job and the company?
There is a good mix of work. Sometimes I'm concentrating on editing a document, or formatting a candidate pack. But other times I can be lost down a rabbit hole of websites and articles while I research labour market insights or info on the best job boards!
Greatest achievements
Back in 2004 my friend and I decided it would be a laugh to walk 60k for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Charity. We didn't know however, that to enter we had to raise £1.5k each first! Challenge accepted we organised a Charity Ball, complete with live music, auction, and wonderful food and copious amounts of donated booze. Target smashed we raised £7000 that night. One huge hangover later, we then had to start the training! Great memories, and a huge sense of achievement, maybe it's time I did something similar again?....

Top Insider Advice
ASK QUESTIONS!! You will be starting in a new role, in potentially a new company and no one is expecting you to have all of the answers. You are allowed to ask questions and be curious, ask why things are the way they are.
This is absolutely the best way to learn and make sure that you get up to speed.
