- I worked on both the Services team and Resources team within the HR Department at Irish Rail.- As a member of the HR Services team I was a HR point of contact for 1600 managers and staff. - Organised company events including a national HR roadshow to improve employee engagement.- Managed absence, employee medicals and returning absent employees back to work. - I initiated an opportunity to move to the HR Resources team to work on recruitment for greater exposure within the company and to build on my recruitment experience.

- I joined the Training team who were responsible for ensuring that all medical staff were trained on all medical equipment ahead of the opening of the new Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth.- It was my responsibility to work with suppliers to facilitate training sessions. Some of the equipment was the first of its kind in Western Australia so it was crucial to establish the time required for training on each piece of equipment, the trainers' availability, pre - training materials etc. - I was responsible for the logistics, scheduling the training and analysing the post training evaluation completed by the trainees.

- I enjoyed this experience working abroad and assisting in the high volume recruitment process of blue collar/white collar employees for huge construction and engineering projects. - This included booking employment medicals, assessing medical results on site specific requirements, reference checks, verifying candidates' qualifications and updating candidates' files.

- This was my first HR role after completing my Masters and provided the best start to my HR career.- As part of the Business HR team my responsibilities included: Providing HR support to Department managers and employees, Project work: HR Policies, Performance management, Employee engagement, Training and Controls & Compliance. Data analysis, reports and administrative tasks.
