The first meeting:
I first spoke to a consultant after seeing an advert for Lawson Bishop. After discussing my experience in depth over the telephone, I was invited to attend a face-to-face interview and to register with Lawson Bishop. The consultant advised me that my experience was best suited to Public Sector roles and I agreed. I was assured that I would be contacted about any roles that matched my skill-set in the sector that I wanted to work in. The search:
Lawson Bishop was consistent in contacting me with roles that were of interest. I felt that they had a good grasp of what would be of interest to me. It was great to have the opportunity to be honest with the consultants and I liked that I was being considered for roles and treated as an important individual. The role:
Having maintained regular contact, Lawson Bishop put me forward for the role of Judicial Pensions Accountant within a Government Department. I was briefed on the role, the department and the client and told what they were ideally looking for. This also enabled me to assess, in greater detail my interest not only in the role but also the working environment. The Job:
I was kept informed of the post-interview process and contacted with regular updates. I started the job two weeks later. I have been contacted regularly since starting the assignment to make sure that I am happy and that everything is going well. The assignment has proven to be worthwhile not only as Lawson Bishop secured a great rate, but the client intends to extend my services beyond the original assignment date.
