Since joining I have been lucky enough to work on some exciting and meaningful projects, from celebrating 100 years of flying to India, shaping our corporate narrative, to organising multiple events to promote the brand and engage colleagues, media and government.

Don't give up! You will face several challenges along the way, and you might have to settle at one point in your career with something that isn't really fulfilling to you. Learn from your experiences, and let them be a fuel for change. Believe in yourself and never let the willingness to follow your passion die. Take risks even if it means leaving the comfort zone and the security buffer. And most importantly, surround yourself with positive people, who will believe in you, see your potential and encourage you to jump into the unknown when you feel scared to do it. The reward is big, trust me!

As a recruiter, I would advise potential candidates to focus on showcasing their unique strengths and experiences authentically. Tailoring resumes to highlight relevant skills and accomplishments is crucial, as is researching the company and role thoroughly to demonstrate genuine interest and alignment. Additionally, I encourage candidates to leverage networking opportunities and reach out to professionals in their desired field for advice and support. During interviews, it's essential to articulate one's passion for the role, ask thoughtful questions, and demonstrate a growth mindset by being open to feedback and learning opportunities. Lastly, maintaining a positive attitude and perseverance in the face of challenges can make a significant difference in the job search journey. Remember, each interaction is a chance to learn and grow, so stay proactive, adaptable, and confident in your abilities.
