  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required.
  • Have excellent organisation skills.
  • Be a team player and enjoy succeeding as a team.
  • Have a flexible approach to work.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
