Rebecca Nicholson
Recruitment Coordinator
Why do you choose to work in recruitment?
As a creative person, I have always had a passion for writing. I have excelled in my Professional Writing program, and as I made my way through my schooling I’ve taken on roles where I can assist my fellow students to the best of my abilities. I love helping my community - I’ve always been someone people can rely on for advice or guidance. To make a career out of helping people achieve their goals is a dream position for me!
What is the worst job you ever had OR the worst interview experience you ever had as a candidate?
I briefly worked at a dollar store after recovering from a major injury. Despite being up-front with my physical limitations and being told they would work around my injury, I was berated consistently for not being able to keep up with the manual labour. It really showed me the lack of concern for their employees' well-being.
I had planned to stay at the company much longer, and once my injury healed I would have been able to do all the normal tasks, however I decided to end my employment early as I did not enjoy working in an environment that did not respect a temporary limitation.
Favourite activity outside of work?
I love playing video games! I spend a lot of time on my PlayStation 5. My favourite games are Persona 5 Royal, The Last of Us, Skyrim & Dead By Daylight! (Yui Main Forever)
Secret tidbit: If you play Dead by Daylight, you might catch me and MT's Managing Partner Stacy in a game! We often play together!
Favourite animal and why.
I love Tigers! I love their adventurous spirit and I admire their ability to balance a warm-hearted attitude with ferociousness. I even named my cat Tiger Lily due to her tiger-like colouring!
Favourite band/singer/genre of music.
I love Arctic Monkeys, Harry Styles & Ariana Grande. I have a soft spot for Jazz & Blues music, and my guilty pleasure is musical soundtracks!
Cilantro: Yay or Nay?
Definitely not - Can’t even handle the smell!
