They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue.

They have also had exposure to retail, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a long-term role with room to grow. In their next move, the opportunity to broaden their skills is an important consideration. They are particularly interested in employers that invest in development and provide clear feedback. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
