What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
The one lesson that really springs to mind is a quote from an old boss that has stuck with me. I say it to myself at least once a day: "Shy kids get no sweets."
It's all about asking questions. If you don't ask, you're never going to get anything. It's about leaving your comfort zone and finding new opportunities and roads to success.
In recruitment, this refers to business development, onboarding new clients, and being able to ask the right questions. This includes asking candidates the right questions.
It's also about making suggestions to clients about job specifications and their hiring process. It really is about taking that leap.
