Meet Caleb! One of our dedicated Baristas in our Pyrmont Support Centre ☕ We sat down with Caleb to talk about his career journey and why he loves working at Hanes: Q: How did you get your job at Hanes?  A: AimBig Employment helped me on my job search. I've had two other barista roles previously before getting my current role at Hanes. Q: How did you find the recruitment and onboarding process? A: Everyone was really helpful, I transitioned into the role very easily and felt very welcome. I was given a tour of the office and got to help figure out a good spot for the coffee machine with the support of my job coach. Overall the process was quick and easy which I really liked. Q: What's your favourite part about your role and working at Hanes? A: Getting to meet and talk to lots of new people all the time. I like making coffees for the friends I've made and get to hear about their day-to-day. I've also enjoyed having the chance to set up systems and routines that work for me in my role, I feel like my own boss a little bit! Q: Do you have any advice for anyone with a disability who's starting a new job? A: Be happy and open to feedback, I always ask if anything I'm doing can be improved so I can do the best job possible. #beingoodcompany #goodpeople #goodimpact #goodcareers

What was your first job? Mine was at a Fabric and Haberdashery shop at age 16. I asked my team this question, here's what we found out: Someone helped their parent at a weekend market stall, another at McDonalds, a few waited tables. A short and sweet glimpse into shared - or varied - experience. Ice Breakers are fun. I'm telling you. You learn so much! You may even try asking your customers or friends. Could lead to a very interesting conversation. Tell me, what was your first job? Why did you love it or loathe it? #teambuilding #icebreakers #customersuccess #workculture #myfirstjob

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! My wife Sara and I celebrated at Waffle House! It’s a fun, stress-free and unique Valentine’s Day outing. (For those curious, you do have to make a reservation around 2 weeks to a month before and it’s decorated for the day.) This time got me thinking. As someone who was a hiring manager for a number of years and a recruiter for three, it’s hard not to be assessing people for potential positions. Too often I see hiring managers pass on candidates because they don’t quite align with their industry or have the exact background. I’m not saying you have to completely ignore those aspects but I do think there needs to be more consideration for skill set. Tonight at Waffle House I saw the following skills on display: top notch customer service, amazing collaboration and team work, project management (how they keep those orders straight I will never know!) and smart revenue generation (we were in and out in about 30 minutes). Just some food for thought and kudos to Waffle House, Inc. and your great employees. #skillset #hiringinsights #foodforthought #thinkoutsidethebox I

The million dollar question on almost every delivery and production candidate’s lips: is the grass really greener on the agency or in-house side? 👄 Well, wonder no more... If you missed our chat with Tim Wilkes, Senior Delivery Lead at Bunnings, Mark Cox, Traffic Manager at Asahi and Natasha Bauer, Marketing Delivery Manager at Cotton On on their experiences moving from agency to in-house, fear not I summarised the event in a really insightful blog post below 👇 We delve into the reality of an in-house delivery role; the pro's, the con's, what in-house delivery managers look for in CV's and also what to consider when you think about your 'dream' in-house role - sometimes it isn't all you expect it to be.

I can't think of many more important decisions I made in my life than where I began my career journey. I kicked off as a Saturday lad at JJB Sports, Parkgate, Rotherham. Stacking shelves, stock room runs to grab trainers and the most thrilling part, learning how to use the Football shirt number/name printing machine! - Once in '94 I put "9 - Shearer" on the back of a Man Utd home shirt, when he looked nailed on to go there...bet that jersey didn't get much airtime ;-) Anyway, this job set me up with a love for all things retail. I learned how to interact with customers, built communication skills and understood the importance of listening. Ami Rowe and her team create these opportunities across a Global estate for us here at Frasers Group. It genuinely excites and amazes me at how many of these stories we are able to kick-off every single day. If you, your friends, siblings, children even Grandchildren, are looking for a role to kick start something, even just to get a little pocket money; it all starts with an application. Join the community linked in this post and we'll do the heavy lifting for you, find the job, link you in to it and even support you with time saving hacks like self-select interview slots that work around your diary. You might not end up in retail, but i guarantee the skills you will take away from the experience will set you up for life.
