Introduction

I worked for Phones 4 U in London as a sales person, before retuning to Hong Kong where I was born.

I was referred to SThree by a ex-colleague of mine who work in one of the UK offices – he sold me the great atmosphere the culture and the rewards you can achieve.

My Role

Top Biller in the office in my first full year, good commission and holidays.

I want to continue being a top biller, known on the market to be Top Head Hunter in IT and now have to pay for my wedding later this year.

There are low points; like when a candidate either doesn’t take a job offer or drops. It feels like all your hard work and effort was a waste of time. It doesn’t happen as often now, but it's still the worst feeling ever! You need to be really resourceful and strong to bounce back.

Its all about hard work and sales ability and never giving up.

Training

Working with really strong people in the best training you can get.

Working at SThree

The culture at SThree is like none other. It’s a real meritocracy. Everyone on the desk shares the culture of “work hard, play hard”.

The firm will give anyone who does well a chance, regardless of age. And they’re always willing to back you. Everyone has a common goal: being the best. This translates into healthy competition.

The unique thing about SThree is how everyone seems to care about one another as more than just a colleague. You tend to build strong relationships across these desks. It must be something about the nature of the job.

To flourish here you need thick skin, a good sense of humour, ambition and a lot of hard work. If you have all these attributes, SThree is a great place to build a career, enjoy life and make a lot of money! You need to get over the initial speed bumps though. It’s strange: it’s a sales job, but many new starters don’t understand that rejection is all part of the process of becoming better.
