I spent 12 years in the banking industry before starting a long career in education recruitment. At Carter Morris, I’m fortunate to have a varied day and get to wear a number of different hats with no 2 days being the same. I love the buzz and sense of satisfaction I get from my job. I also genuinely enjoy the team I work with - their knowledge and professionalism is inspiring, and we all get along so well despite our very different upbringings and personal interests, which makes for such a great working environment.
My children are older now, with one living abroad and one with a family of his own, so I’m lucky to have all the benefits of having little ones around without all the stress! I have recently moved to the country where I am indeed living ‘The Good Life’, growing vegetables and making cider! I enjoy anything to do with food, eating and cooking, and love to travel and explore new things and places - I am lucky that life is busy but also very fulfilling.
Comments I’ve received from this group in this month alone include:
“You don’t know what you’re talking about so do yourself a favour and put my CV through your client if you want to make some money.”
“What a f*****g pile of s**t”
“Bog standard automatic reply, don’t know why you bothered you moron”
