LIFE OF A DAY IN THE
LESLEY LE VESCONTE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT
LESLEY LE VESCONTE
My day starts quite early. As a working mum I have the usual lunch boxes to prepare, children to round up and send off to school before starting my own working day.
I am in my 14th year at ASL and am very fortunate that I can work reduced hours. I start at 8:30 a.m. and leave the office at 2:00 p.m. but my work continues as I access work emails late into the evening corresponding with candidates in the know that often this is their time when they sit down to read their emails. I do this as I like to start each morning at work clear of any email backlog from the previous day. I don't always clear my emails but the intention is there!
My day starts with reviewing all CVs sent, enquiries into vacant positions and general relocation questions from emails that have been sent the previous evening or over a weekend. Mondays can be a busy time as many people spend time over a weekend applying to different roles on agency websites or just inquisitively looking at what the current employment market is offering. I then see what the diary has for me that day by way of appointments. This can be for candidates registering seeking work or visits to clients to discuss their current vacancies or taking a new vacancy and their search for a suitable employee.
We are open from 8:00 a.m. and offer appointments before work, during the day and into the early evening if required and we pride ourselves on being flexible, meeting candidates at a location of their choice if they have difficulty getting to our offices in town or meeting them out of town if necessary. I then spend much of my time matching candidates to vacancies, setting up interviews and conducting interview preparation sessions.
My day is so diverse I really can be doing anything at any
