What are you most proud of?
I am proud that I continued to attend Purple Networking, a networking event at Xenia Lounge in Crawley once per month. I have managed to continually create new connections and maintain them. I can’t thank Stuart enough for letting me continue to attend. Thanks Stuart!
I am also proud that I managed to get two jobs within a warehouse environment in the last six months of 2018. The first was with Hermes through Streetwise* (an agency) and Streetwise, where I am currently.
Eventhough Staffline paid a little bit more than Streetwise does, it isn’t about the money. It’s more about the essential experience I gained which I am most proud of.
What skills did you acquire?
I learned that, whilst at Hermes through Staffline, how to stack cages correctly. Start building a wall along the front of the cage with bigger, heavier boxes, then securely place the smaller boxes further back in the cage and packages right at the back of the cage.
This way, everything can be transported much easier to where it needs to go without parcels or packages falling out onto the floor and, in turn, saves some time. I have tried to keep this going at Streetwise, without much success due to a different manager seeing things from a different perspective.
What do you wish you did differently?
I wish I could keep up-to-date (and beyond) with blogging**, as I have fallen behind on a few occasions. With me working early mornings currently and me travelling to Brighton for personal reasons, I do not always have the time or energy to keep my blog up-to-date.
To do something different, I could try a weekly round up of work instead of daily to save some time, or get a volunteer typist to help with this. What do you think?
What went better / harder than you expected?
Blogging has been more of a challenge for me because of work and personal reasons, like I mentioned in my last answer.
Where, or what, do you feel the most peace?
I feel most at peace at home because I like knowing that my family are safe and well.
However, I feel at peace at work because I enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
I also feel a little bit at peace when I have had to travel because it is outside of my boundaries and I like to see how far outside of my boundaries I can go,
Conclusion
All in all, it have been a good year, doing well in some areas, needing to improve in others.
