A day in the life of a HR Generalist - Talent Acquisition in the United Kingdom
Make sure you tailor every application
My career goals when I graduated
Financially I had a bet with housemates that we would celebrate the 1st one of us to reach 40K without London weighting.
I wanted a role that was going to progress my skills and keep me challenged.
My career history
I worked full time while at York as a Delivery Manager at Next
Summer jobs with an Accountancy firm
HR Graduate at BorgWarner following York, moving to HR Generalist and then Talent Acquisition globally.
What has helped my career to progress
Drive for results and flexibility. Always take the opportunity when presented, focusing on short term goals sometimes hides the big picture.
My advice to students considering work
Remember the job market is now global. Think outside of your comfort zone and build up your experience - graduates with no work experience don´t make it to the top of the pile.
My advice about working in my industry
Drive for results and innovative thinking

In October 2016, I joined Hunter Wolff based in Saltaire as Director, Talent Acquisition.

What I like most
I am lucky in my role to meet a lot of people from all over the world, and in many cases travel to these places as well.
What surprised me most
The academic knowledge is fantastic but you have to apply practically, I learned a lot from day 1 about doing this.
