Due to a departmental restructure, I was entrusted with building a new junior team for the ad operations team. The task involved:
- Working with the Human Resource team to get the job ads out
- Filter incoming candidates * arrange interviews
- Conducting interviews & deciding on who gets the job
- Create a welcome kit & training agenda for the new starter
- Training the new starter with help from my team
- Mentoring & enabling them to grow into senior positions over 1.5 years
Two things I learned:
- Make your interviews fun & educational.
- Mentoring means being patient & listening to the other person's opinions. No ego!
