By experience a project is like a journey, the goal is essential but the path to get there is just as important. Keeping good relationship, a "can-do" attitude, open to find the right compromise to move forward are essential. There are strong things to take away from all projects, even in the failures and that should in no case affect the following experience, on the contrary it should reinforce it. Grow together all the time in contact with others, whatever the age or experience, mutual exchange is essential. Work is an important part of our life, it must be source of wisdom as well and part of our personal development.

What do you like about your job and the company?
I really appreciate our Project mode organization, ensuring confidence, autonomy and complete view of each project. It's a project mode inside my team (with Brand, Content and Comms manager), with all others Kingfisher stakeholders in charge the roll out ( Product, Quality, Packaging) and with our Banners Teams (Market, POS, Digital, Catalogue, Marketing...). It enriches both my Professional and Personal experience
Greatest achievements
I am very satisfied with a previous Joinery project (windows) creating a strong asset pack with lots of rich content as imageries, videos, icons set, line drawings. It had an impact on artwork packaging rendering, and all my recommendations about web page layout, videos and imagery use on Social Media have been respected by Digital and Content teams to ensure a perfect roll out of the new range. Web pages were attractive with links to video and imagery carousel, The "How to install" video (very difficult to manage) had lots of view in the YouTube channel and the Range video had a great impact as well. A nice project to work on with a 360 impact on comms.

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!
