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 :)

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.
