Season 1 | Episode 20: Paul Smith on entering the private sector late in his career and how difficult job hunting has been during the pandemic
Today, I am talking with Paul who has been severely affected by the pandemic as he happened to be looking for work at the start of 2020 and so therefore has been in the job market for most of the year. He talks openly and honestly about his frustrations of job hunting in such a slow market and what his observations have been on the market as a whole. We also talked about his unusual route in the private sector as he joined the industry fairly late in his career, which is notoriously hard to do, but how he is so glad he made the move when he did as it is an industry he now absolutely loves. In this episode we discuss: 🎙️ How important contacts are in this industry 🎙️ How to approach job hunting in this current market 🎙️ The lengths a Principal will go to for perfection! Paul is a passionate House Manager who will soon find his perfect next role. He is a loyal member of staff who has demonstrated good longevity in all his previous roles.
