• HR Administrator

  • Sep 2016 - Mar 2018

  - The provision of administration support and coordination activities to assist with the delivery of HR strategies to the organisation.- Maintaining accurate employee records and transactions through the use of Workday system. - Ensuring the service and support of the HR function is a high quality experience for the business.My work as a Human Resources Administrator for Aon New Zealand gives me a unique opportunity to objectively observe the way a large organisation functions, whilst also having the on-the-ground role of being the first point of internal contact for the HR function. This means I have a wide range of responsibilities, and tasks that are often unpredictable and simultaneous. I have to consistently be organised, solution orientated and service focused, and with each task I'm likely learning something new. Each day I'm challenged, and I never stop growing - whether it's professionally in terms of up-skilling, or personally in terms of learning something new about myself - and bringing resilience and purpose to each of these lessons. This role allows me to exercise skills that don't necessarily come naturally to me, but this in turn strengthens and broadens my skill-set, and allows me to experience the growth that happens when you're outside of your comfort zone.

• Sales Representative

  • Jun 2015 - Sep 2016

  - Management - Recruitment - Sales Although this role primarily focused around sales, I found that the act of problem solving was just as prevalent, especially when servicing a wide variety of customers around often technical issues or needs that had to be addressed. A great deal of effort goes into understanding the customer, listening to what they want even when they themselves may not be able to identify their desires accurately, before providing your solution. Because of the size of the store I also learnt to think on my feet, multi-task accurately, and how to deal with difficult situations. In summary, this role allowed my extroverted self to accomplish sales targets, form connections with people and create engaging experiences. It also allowed me to go further and take on responsibilities such as the recruitment and training of our new employees. I experienced a lot of autonomy and it was a great opportunity to exercise my management skills. Show less
