What do you like about your job and the company?

I enjoy the challenges that being recruitment lead brings. I have a small team of recruiters, who deal with all our permanent recruitment for CDIO Borders & Trade. Processes change quite quickly and over the last few months there have been organisation changes as well, so feel that I am always learning and updating my knowledge.

Greatest achievements

Before COVID my team were nominated for a HMRC peoples award, where we were invited to a ceremony in London. It was lovely for the team to be recognised for all the hard work that they do.

Never by shy or afraid to try something new and don't expect opportunities to come to you, they might do, if you're in the right place at the right time but mostly, it's about keeping your eyes open. Taking action on your goals and believing in yourself is important, lets face it, you are your own best friend. Be open and flexible and avoid linear thinking as you can miss opportunities right in front of you. Doing something different to your business as usual is a great way to meet new people, network and learn more about yourself.

I think we can all feel a sense of imposter syndrome, and that inner voice saying you are not capable. You are ! I think we all need to recognise that work can be challenging and not always as straightforward as you want it to be, which is where the doubt can set it. Its all about building that resilience for me, don't give up. If you want something just keep working towards it, even if that means taking it slowly.
