Have you enjoyed your time at The HR Booth?

Yes, I have enjoyed my time here.

I didn’t even know what HR was before I started this internship, so I have enjoyed learning what HR consists of. I’ve also learned a lot about the marketing side of HR as well as a lot of different aspects.

What was your favourite experience during your time at The HR Booth?

My favourite experience is getting to know the people who work here, as well as discovering the new apps like Capsule & Breathe HR and getting to explore both apps, whilst completing some admin work on them.

Would you recommend the Career Ready programme?

Yes, I would. I think it’s a great way to get experience and explore new environments, that they may not be exposed to otherwise.

What job would you like to work in, in the future?

I would like to go to university to study Criminology and Policing. My long-term aim is to work within the Criminology field.
