What your fellow members say
I do my own recruitment, rosters and day to day management, liaise with my staff and rostering them. I really enjoy doing this. At the end of the day, I am the person they answer to. It’s very important to me to have control and choice… My work day can change but I can control and negotiate changes as I manage my staff. I learned a lot of skill negotiating and dealing with people.
