I wanted to pursue a career in HR, but I was told by many employers that it would be difficult to do that due to the processes required and I should apply for Admin roles instead.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore I applied for an Admin role in TOP-TEC but during my interview, I was asked, \u201cWhere do you see yourself, HR or Admin?\u201d. I told them I was interested in HR though even though I was being interviewed for an Admin role and they gave me a role in HR!<\/p>\n<p>TOP-TEC saw me as me as I am, recognised my talents and, knew I would be more suitable as an HR professional for the company.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What do you love most about your job?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I take great pleasure in being there to help employees navigate through work dynamics and participating in employee relations. It&#8217;s just really fulfilling for me.<\/p>\n<p>I also generally enjoy being with and around people and this job allows me to do that.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is one thing you wish your co-workers knew about your job?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I want my colleagues to know that they can reach out to me whenever they need assistance, and I&#8217;m always eager to lend a hand. With my understanding in HR, I can provide specialised guidance to our employees whenever it&#8217;s needed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are some of your favourite memories in TOP-TEC? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Anytime we are all just laughing. Some people here are so funny! They can say the simplest things, but it can be absolutely hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>I also enjoy when I am part of the recruitment process of a candidate, and I see them progress to being an employee. Seeing people, I recruit start their career at TOP-TEC and happily carrying out their day-to-day at TOP-TEC gives me an overwhelming sense of achievement.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tell me something about you that most people in the office don\u2019t know?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I have a tattoo of the world map on my back! I\u2019ve always loved the world and learning about different countries, so I decided to have it on my back. It also helps cover up an old tattoo.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are you most looking forward to during your career in TOP-TEC?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>TOP-TEC has a very long and successful history and has been evolving for over 65 years till now. I am looking forward to the next stage of the company\u2019s evolution and being a part of it.<br \/>\nWe are thrilled to have featured Samantha on this month\u2019s employee spotlight!
