When are you due to join the company?
3rd August 2020
What prompted you to move to this new role?
An offer I had previously accepted pre-pandemic was retracted due to Covid-19
How did you find this role?
I was contacted on LinkedIn by someone I had met at a kids party as we had chatted about work and she thought I'd be a good fit.
Overall what is the best advice you can give other job seekers?
Use your network! Contact ex colleagues, friends and recruiters and tell them you are looking for a role. Also contact companies you would like to work for directly and get your CV on file with them.
What was your biggest challenge?
Finding time and energy to research, apply and interview for jobs whilst looking after my kids full time without being able to leave the house or have any childcare!!
Has starting your new job been easier or harder than expected? And why?
I haven't started my role yet, but I've been really impressed by how the the on boarding and recruitment process has been handled remotely.
