What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
It's nice when I can help people, especially when they're excited to join a company and get an offer. It’s really rewarding to see them join.
I'm sure you feel the same way when you land a job. Even when you don't get it, it's part of the process.
Majority of my job involves saying no, so it's particularly rewarding when I get to say yes.
I've also hired a few people who have become friends. We get together for chats and one-on-ones.
It's great that I've made new girlfriends at work. I get to hang out with the people I hired and help them get excited about their new role. They're usually happy with me, and all I really did was usher them through the process.
