My Advice

My advice for anyone looking to get involved in the job seeking process is to remain calm. There are certain things we can control and there are other factors which are outside of our control. If we can control these factors then we can address the issue, if they are beyond our reach remain calm and let these happen. Remember when you find yourself worrying, take a minute to examine the things you have control over. You can't prevent a storm from coming, but you can prepare for it.

My Background

I have an honors business degree from the University of Limerick majoring in Risk Management and Insurance, this was quickly followed by an MSc in Project Management also in the University of Limerick.  To balance my academics I had exposure to working in the hospitality and insurance sectors, where customer service and satisfaction was at the forefront of my roll.  After my studies, I worked in a global leader in consultation before deciding to make the career change into recruitment in 2019.  I plan on bringing my vast different types of exposures from academic and professional experiences combined with my passion for customer service to deliver an excellent service to all candidates whom I engage with.
