The best advice that I can give you is to be true to your values during the interview. Like everywhere, a company is above all made up of people so be yourself and think about the people you are meeting and potentially working with as well as the job itself. If you are not hired after an interview, it means that this role is may not have been the right one, but the right one will come along. Keep believing in you and your capabilities and never give up!

What do you like about your job and the company?
I am extremely enthusiastic about this role because it allows you to take advantage of all the different assets that you may have acquired during your professional career. I love to investigate and find where there is a congestion in project and encourage people meet and work with each other to solve issues quickly. It also allows you to travel and meet other cultures to be open to different ways of working. Kingfisher want to build a supply chain community spanning Group and Brands - focussed on becoming as one team. The Group Supply Specialist is a key profile in this strategy. It requires great communication, leadership, influencing, collaboration and motivational skills as well as the more traditional supply chain skills such as analytical and organisational with an agile mindset.
Greatest achievements
Being a woman, I have chance to create lives. I always said that my best achievement is my son's creation. It is hard to build a career but it is more difficult to be a good mother and guide our children in how to be happy. My Job at Kingfisher allows me to have an exciting position and to spend time with my family :)

Sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you don't see coming. Be your own authentic self and if you see an opportunity which catches your eye - go for it! You have nothing to lose, and you could just end up in a great new environment where you're able to keep learning, inspiring and loving what you do.

Top Insider Advice
Don't get used to something and stuck in your ways, keep an open mind and try to look for the value in the change, at the same time don't be scared to challenge or ask for more detail before you make up your mind, and if you still don't think it's the right thing be vocal but also be willing to try.

It's a powerful truth that many of us need to hear when we're standing at the crossroads of aspiration and reality. We all have dreams, whether it’s building a successful career, starting a business, traveling the world, or making a positive impact on the community. But too often, we let our dreams sit idle, cherished in our hearts but never brought to life. Without action, even the most beautiful dreams will stay out of reach. It’s the steps you take today that turn your aspirations into tangible achievements. To turn your dreams into something real, you have to take the leap and start moving forward, no matter how small the first step may seem. The road from dream to reality is paved with consistent action and determination.
