I was really excited when I knew I was going to people2people for my work experience, as I was very interested to learn how a recruitment agency worked. During my work experience at people2people, I was fortunate enough to gain some experience working in a business environment with various tasks such as scanning, resume templates, checking IDโ€™s, sending parcels and setting up meeting rooms. I was helped by Janet and Kat and everyone at people2people was very friendly and they always greeted me with a smile. 

That made me feel very comfortable and I felt very welcome at people2peopleโ€™s Sydney CBD office. Reflecting back to my first day at people2people, it was one of the most memorable days for me. After being introduced to everyone, I was asked to work with Kat at the front desk. I learned a lot from her, such as how to answer the phone and greeting candidates.  I helped Kat to tidy up the interview rooms and I went with her when she has to send the parcels at the post office. Overall, I knew the receptionistโ€™s tasks and responsibilities on my first day. 

This helped me gain more knowledge on how this recruitment agency worked. I learned how the interview process worked and the testing the candidates are sometime required to do. They have their own interview in a private interview room and the recruiters would ask a series of questions. I was allowed to come into that room and listen to their interviews ( with the candidateโ€™s permission, of course!). This was my most enjoyable experience. Thank you to people2people recruitment for giving me an opportunity to experience your work environment and making it a great week.
