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 contract role with meaningful project work. In their next move, the opportunity to broaden their skills is an important consideration. They are comfortable working in the office and are also open to a balanced hybrid arrangement. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
