GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Teresa McDermott Membership & Communications Administrator
Hi Teresa. How long have you been at SELECT? I’ve been here at SELECT for around four-and-a-half months now.
What were you doing before SELECT? Tell us a bit about your background and how you got here. After I graduated I taught English abroad for a couple of years, but I found that it wasn’t for me so I started doing admin jobs instead. I was looking out for a permanent position with a good organisation when I found the job here at SELECT.
What does your job entail? Tell us a bit more about what you do… I mainly process applications for membership and act as a point of contact for SELECT Members, but I’m always kept very busy! I recently helped out with the SELECT Awards which was great as it gave me the opportunity to speak to Members and get to know
them and what they do better.
What’s a typical day like for you? Tell us about some of the things you do on an average day in the office... It’s a lot of communication, funnily enough; answering queries from Members and prospective Members, keeping track of the many applications we have, and coordinating with my colleagues. I also help with the administration of a lot of the events, so there’s always something going on.
Do you get the chance to meet SELECT Members? I had met a couple of SELECT Members while I was helping out with the Awards, but then I had the chance to meet a lot more at the ceremony on 11 October.
What do you know now that you didn’t before joining SELECT? Did

What do you find most enjoyable about your job? Speaking to Members and helping them out.
