Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as a Canddiate Consultant required me to find specific candidates for a variety of job roles in different fields. I would firstly write and post job adverts to gain attraction and then select suitable candidates for interview. All interviews would take place via phone and if the candidate was successful after the interview stage I would then set them up on the systems used and collect required documents.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I would say that I was given a lot of responsibility during my placement which made me feel like a valued member of the team even though I wasn’t a permanent member I would be given the same amount of responsibility as anyone else.
