I work in Talent Acquisition within the People Services \u2013 Recruitment team, supporting recruitment in the marine and defence industry, primarily for engineering roles.<\/p>

My role is particularly interesting because many of the positions I support have strict security requirements, making the sourcing and placement process more complex than standard recruitment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

What has been your most exciting project?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The defence project has been the most exciting for me. I have particularly enjoyed learning about the processes the government follows to ensure the safety and protection of its citizens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

One of the biggest challenges has been engaging with candidates, as some do not fully understand the recruitment processes involved.<\/p>

I have learned to be patient, communicate clearly and recognise that some procedures naturally take longer than others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

What is it like experiencing your first corporate job<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I value the level of independence I have in my role and am grateful to Expleo for giving me this opportunity.<\/p>

The positive and supportive working environment has made my experience enjoyable and has helped me feel comfortable in the workplace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Be a sponge: absorb, grow and reflect continuously.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This internship has placed me in situations that have tested my patience and confidence. I have learned how to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds, build rapport and make people feel comfortable.<\/p>

My confidence has also grown significantly, particularly because I have been encouraged to use my strengths, including my communication skills, to support my performance and delivery at work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
