As my first full time job since leaving college this was my stepping stone into the world of full time employment. We specialised in providing identity needs to the mass market of individuals and organisations alike, tailoring packages around their needs rather than focusing on a single product or solution. Every organisation has its own requirements and we wanted to bring that to them without the need for huge commitments. It was a great experience for me to start dealing with organisations small and large, identifying the challenges and differences between the two. It was great to be able to have meetings with a small shop owners, barbers, local schools and nurseries requiring identity solutions in numbers of 10-20 units and then to also being exposed to organisations with needs of 10-20K units with full access control management and data handling.

This was my first insight into a working life and provided me with some amazing memories and a great learning experience. It was an education I would never forget and the lessons I learnt from working there provide me with solutions in completely different fields.At times it proved difficult managing the late working hours and early college starts whilst still finding times for my studies. It taught me how to mange my time most efficiently and how to make sure I met coursework deadlines without letting down my employer or my grades. Working at the bar gave me a great insight into dealing with customers and liaising with all types of people. It taught me how to communicate with individuals who didn't always want to communicate in the nicest way. I learnt how to think on the spot and come up with solutions when the end customer is standing right in front of you. You learn to be decisive and authoritative if the situation is required.The best part of working at the bar was the relationships built with the locals and to this day it was like being a part of another family.
