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. The candidate is particularly strong in balance sheet reconciliations and financial reporting, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to construction, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a permanent full-time opportunity. In their next move, more exposure to complex work 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.
