Happy 1 Year Workaversary!

I can’t believe it’s over a year since Brandon joined us. I can’t believe that someone else didn’t snap up the man I met at the Kickstart interviews. Brandon’s interest in research, use of Excel and dry sense of humour stood right out.   

 

So, that’s the first year down Brandon, I bet you wonder what year 2 is going to bring? I could say more of the same, but I suspect you’re already more than aware that no two weeks are the same in RRM and as we develop and grow new products – I am sure you will grow with them……


Its not everyday you wake up, check the calendar, and realise you’ve been at your job for a year without realising.


That the interviews, meeting new co-workers, and training, all happened in what feels like just yesterday.


That after the lockdowns, applying for jobs that you didn’t know would even exist in a few months, and all the uncertainty you have found your new routine, the next phase in your life.


I had never even thought of the HR industry as a place for me until a year ago. I would never have guessed how all that incidental research, report writing, data analysing and spreadsheeting, from across different classes with entirely different focuses and subjects, would end up being far more useful than I thought it would.


That after everything, it would all fall into place but a few years later.



After a year of nothing but respect, useful training, interesting work, helpful co-workers, and a genuinely caring boss, I’ve never been so glad to have been wrong about “where do you see yourself in 5 years”, let alone one.
