This role gave me significant experience in areas that I was lacking; it gave me the opportunity to build relations within the University and allowed for me to grow and develop my skillset in such a short period of time. I then went on to secure a permanent role within the University after completing my 3-month temporary position. I truly believe if I hadn\u2019t had started my career by gaining this experience with Unitemps, I wouldn\u2019t have been successful in securing my permanent role and would recommend it to any students, new graduates or anybody looking for a career change who wishes to gain experience in other fields.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
