Miriam O'Donoghue

Recruitment Consultant on the business support desk for temporary, contract and permanent administration roles.

Specialist Area

I specialise in business, administrative and marketing recruitment on a temporary, contract and permanent basis throughout the South East.

My Advice

Research is vital when it comes to the interview. This knowledge will support your understanding of the business, its vision, purpose and goals and provide you with the confidence to speak about the organisation. Play on key strengths and know how they relate to the job. Remember to highlight accomplishments if you want to make a good first impression! Finally, ensure your CV is kept up to date, create a cover letter that provides impact, upskill where necessary and get relevant experience in the area or sector.

My Background

I joined Morgan McKinley in June 2023 as a recruitment consultant having run and managed my own marketing & PR consultancy for almost 25 years where I dealt with a diverse cohort of clients across a broad range of sectors from tourism to technology, healthcare and education. This included mentoring and advising clients through the Local Enterprise Offices on their business strategy as well as delivering workshops on a number of marketing and business-related topics. I hold a BA in German & Psychology, a Diploma in Public Relations, a Masters in Business and a Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing. Deciding it was time for a career change and new challenge where I could utilise my skills, I am now part of the Morgan McKinley team in the South East.
