And what a great 2 weeks it’s been!! Only 12 days in, I’m absolutely loving it and can’t wait to learn more!
I completed my first solo telephone registration last week and making sure I covered everything was tough…but that’s something that will come with practice right?
Before I started, I must admit I was apprehensive, with the first day filled with completing HR paperwork and mastering new technology, it felt like I was signing my life away.

And who knows, maybe next week I’ll be in charge of biscuits as well?
However, putting sarcasm aside, I’m working with a great bunch of experienced, intelligent and pretty mental people, I’m sure I’m in safe hands, learning from the pros.
Ramping up the pace on week #3, I’m nervous and excited at getting down to business, learning my new trade inside out and really pushing myself. I’ve got a lot to learn about the FMCG sector but it’s fascinating and I know that speaking to the people who know it best – the candidates working in that sector – will get me up to speed in no time.
My first week in recruitment has been highly educational to say the least. I had no clue what world I was getting myself into. Clients, candidates, company social media and software updates, these are just a few things you have to stay on top of on a daily basis. Miss one out and the system falls down. I love it all. I love the crazy rush in the morning where everyone is on a mission to get into their offices at 8:45am because we all know a 9am start doesn't actually mean 9am.
