    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Managing end to end recruitment for our placements, grads and apprentices. Coordinating university events and liaising with stakeholders to tailor events to our recruitment needs. Developing recruitment strategies and processes to provide a better candidate experience. Dealing with candidate and university queries is also a part of my role on a daily basis.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have lear'nt a wide range of new skills since being at GE Aerospace. My communication and delivery is far more advanced now, as I believe I can present myself well during talks and meetings. Also organisation skills are a key part of my role, something that I lacked beforehand.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • I have received excellent support during my placement from my people leader and other members of staff. Whenever I have felt worried, I always feel comfortable discussing my concerns with my people leader. She helps me stay relaxed in high pressure situations and without that support I would not be the person I am now.
