Interview: Background and Approach
Who I am and what makes me tick.
What prompted you to start a career in marketing contract compliance?
After providing audit services across a range of industries I was seeking a new challenge to specialise and transfer my skills in a new role. Media & advertising is prevalent in our everyday lives and to challenge myself in this niche field was an attractive opportunity.
Upon exposure to Financial Progression and the team, I realised that this was an excellent opportunity to learn about the media and advertising fields, considering the vast level of experience and ability in the company.
How has your previous experience helped you at Financial Progression?
After working for a big 4 firm in a post graduate role I had exposure to a range of industries and technology, building my capabilities for project management, data analysis and client relations. I hope to transfer these skills to this role and apply an open mindset to business practices and processes.
Which part of your work gives you the greatest sense of achievement?
The greatest sense of achievement for me is the feeling of adding value. By providing high quality services to our clients, and by utilising new technology tools to better streamline existing processes.
How would people describe you?
I think people would describe me as a positive person, with a willingness to learn new things and embrace new opportunities. I would also consider myself to be empathetic and easy going, which I believe is important to building positive working relationships with project teams as well as clients.
What motivates you to do what you do?
Since the early years of my education I have always been drawn to new challenges and experiences. There is something motivating about the unknown and whether through failure or success, there are always lessons to be learned. Experimenting with new technologies, embracing new projects and taking on new fitness challenges are just some of the things that keep me motivated.
