We are perhaps a little biased on this one but we think this podcast is a great one for the single reason of who it is, Catherine Ferma, Operations Director at The Gym Group.
Lawrence worked for Catherine at Esporta Croydon many years ago and has always been very open about the impact and credit he gives to Catherine for helping to shape his management style.
Catherine is dynamic, open, honest and exceptionally talented and someone we wanted on as a guest when we first began considering how Love Your Career was going to be.
Catherine gives her time, expertise and knowledge and a wide range of career areas, so of these areas and topics were:
- We talked through the advice Catherine gave ages ago when Lawrence failed an interview. Advice that not only helped Lawrence get the job but advice he has given to others in his recruitment career hundreds of times since.
- Her career history, journey and decision making along the way
- Reasons for her early success and progression - discussion hard work, resilience and a strong moral compass.
- How she values her competitive spirit highly and it being a key reason for her success.
- Importance of learning from great mentors and leaders but also recognising not so great ones and using those experiences to shape you also.
- Follow your passion!
- Great advice around progressing internally and also moving into senior roles.
- Insights Training and the high value she places upon this view.
- CV writing tips and interview tips - great advice you don’t want to miss.
- Embracing video interviews and recognising the value they add.
- Her go-to interview questions!
- Importance of expanding your horizons.
If you have liked Love Your Career so far, you’ll love this conversation, we promise.
