We were lucky to have James Hood – the son of our Head of Eventus Finance Jo Hood – join us for a week of work experience. And he kindly wrote this blog on his experience at Eventus Recruitment Cheshire…
James’ Story
“When I found out I had to do a week of work experience, I was unsure of what to do. When my Mum told me about doing it at Eventus, I knew I would get a good overview of how a business works. I was looking forward to the experience. On my first day, my Mum told me how her job works and showed me what she uses (e.g. LinkedIn, recruitment databases etc.). I ended up doing a variety of tasks, such as preparing CVs and looking for new candidates. I enjoyed preparing CVs because I found it interesting to see the variety of jobs that people have, and it made me understand better how to set them out.
I also observed my mum making phone calls to clients and candidates, which gave me an understanding of what a recruitment consultant does to get their candidates a job. I also helped to write job adverts from a client job spec. This was interesting because it gave me an insight into what companies want from an employee.
I have enjoyed my work experience and found it interesting because I never had really been in an office before, and I have enjoyed being in one. I was surprised by how busy being a recruitment consultant is and now I understand how much hard work goes into the job. There are a lot of different things going on at once.
Overall, my work experience at Eventus has been very helpful, interesting, and enjoyable because it has given me experience and an understanding of what it takes to work at a business. Thanks for having me here.”
Thank you James. We enjoyed having you in the office. You did some great work and good luck with your studies.
