About me

I've worked for 8 years as a Sales Assistant, during the time I was studying and also after, and more than 3 years as a HR Specialist in Trainings Administration. In October 2020 I decided to do a post graduation in human resource management and development at ISCAP, since I had initially studied Psychology and I felt the need to gain more knowledge in this area. In October 2021 I changed to the recruiting area, by starting in a new position as an IT Talent Sourcer at Mindera. And, half year later, I accepted the challenge to become a Junior Talent Acquisition Specialist at New Work SE. After these professional and educational experiences, I feel that I finally found my place. Recruitment, even though so challenging sometimes, is now what I really want to do.
