Summary
After first commencing my career in education in New Zealand and then moving to Australia and taking time out of the workforce for family commitments. I have recently been working as head of administration and personal assistant for a small upstart business. I am now seeking to utilise the knowledge I have gained from my Diploma in human resources management and recruitment processes. I am a flexible team player with exceptional communication skills that I have adapted to suit the person I was speaking to communication style. This has enabled me to build strong professional working relationships with managers, co-workers, candidates, clients, and all stakeholders in my previous roles. I am a motivated lifelong learner committed to learning all I can to successfully transition my career into recruitment consulting.
