I completed a placement year at a recruitment company named Media Contacts.
My role as a Recruitment Administrator was to provide both clerical and administrative support to consultants, as part of a team or individually. This involved the following day to day tasks: formatting CV’s, posting job advertisements on different job boards, credit control and various other tasks.
Most of my work involved written and verbal communication, word processing and typing, and required relevant skills such as IT, organisational and presentation skills, as well as the ability to multi-task and work well under pressure.
My plan after university is to start a career in Human Resources. My degree has already introduced me to two different Human Resources modules, and I have gained significant knowledge required for someone planning to start a career within HR.
