Sep 1996 - Sep 2009
It is during my time in the recruitment industry that I had the first opportunity to implement the knowledge and skills gained in my Business and Finance studies. Most importantly, however, recruiting introduced me to the position of Business Developer/Client Relationship Manager (a role that I earnestly enjoy and have developed a passion for) and, in 13 years in the industry, allowed me to develop a thorough understanding of the importance of striving to develop strong, long-term relationships with clients, of maintaining a strict focus on delivering the highest levels of service/quality and, most importantly, of always putting the clients' interests first.
