Candidate Shortlist
I studied Business Management in high school, which sparked my interest in the Recruitment/HR field, and I really enjoyed learning about how to open and run a business and how many things there are to manage simultaneously. While studying, I worked part-time as a medical receptionist, where I developed strong administrative skills like managing appointments, handling confidential information, and providing great service to patients. I chose not to pursue the university path because I value the hands-on learning and real-world experience that a traineeship offers. The practical skills I gained as a medical receptionist showed me the importance of applying knowledge directly in a workplace setting. By choosing a business admin traineeship, I can immediately immerse myself in the recruitment/HR field, where I’ll gain on-the-job training and mentorship.

After taking time off for maternity leave, I’m excited to re-enter the workforce and bring my experience in office administration to the recruitment field. Prior to my leave, I worked in a fast-paced real estate office, where I managed client communications, organized documents, and coordinated schedules.
