A recruiter's point of view

by Joanna Hoddinott, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Advanced Resource Managers Ltd.

All the trials have been worth it!

Sorry it's been a while folks, things have been rather hectic. I promise to respond to some of your comments about age discrimination when I get the time. Anyway, one of the reasons I've been away from my blog for a while is that I've been promoted, and it's kept me very busy indeed!

The joys of being promoted! What does this mean? For those of you who don't know: I've been promoted to Team Leader for the Rail Department. For some promotion is pure joy, for others it is approached with trepidation and there is no doubt a small group that feels blind panic. Personally, I think I feel a mixture of all three! What does the new role mean? More responsibility, but probably nothing I can't handle. It'll be good for me to develop this capability... character building. It may also explain why this blog is going to be only a few short sentences in length as time seems to be running away with me. One good element is that I get to spend Thursday and Friday of this week on a training course learning how to be an effective leader. Hopefully I'll live up to the expectations and make it to at least next month which will see my fourth anniversary with Advanced Resource Managers!

Hi Jo

Congratulations on your promotion! A move and a promotion all in the same month - nothing like living life on the edge...

Joanna Hoddinott
Rail Team Leader, Advanced Resource Managers Ltd.

I am the Rail Team Leader at Advanced Resource Managers. What do I do? Well, to expand upon the rather obvious job title, I'm an experienced Recruitment Consultant who manages my company's coverage of the busy Rail sector. My Rail team in turn sits within ARM's larger Transport and Infrastructure Division. Here I'm going to give you an idea of what recruitment is all about and how it works, not forgetting some of the things I get up to out of work...
