    Candidate ManagerProfessinal Construction Recruitment
     - Twickenham, United KingdomFull Time
    I was approached by one of the directors for PCR after being recognised managing a home Match Day at The Shack. This opportunity gave me a change to experience to work in an office environment and work alongside a team rather then independently and leading a team. I broadened my communication & computer skills as my duties included communicating with candidates and finding jobs that were convenient for them as well as filling jobs from Clients with deadlines as short as an hour. I enjoyed working under the pressure of a demanding job however didn't feel a career in recruitment was for me and decided to expand my career in events as I was also still helping The Shack with there high profile events throughout my time at PCR.
