It&#8217;s been a year full of learning, personal growth, and questionable tea bag choices (Yorkshire is best, obviously). When I got the call back in March last year telling me that I&#8217;d gotten the job I was nervous but excited. I had no idea what to expect, but stepping into the office for the first time in July, my nerves were calmed by the friendly faces of the team!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Challenges = New Memories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going from university, which is heavily theory based, into a full-time job was a challenge but I loved it! Now I sit here, exactly a year after my first day, it&#8217;s clear to me that anyone at university should strongly consider taking a placement year. The experience I&#8217;ve gained over the past 52 weeks is incredible. From <a href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2019\/09\/10\/another-day-volunteering-lfc-foundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volunteering at the LFC Foundation<\/a> to visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2019\/09\/23\/nightstop-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nightstop Greater Manchester<\/a>, I&#8217;ve also been introduced to a first-hand view of the tireless hard work that goes on in the third sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I think my best experience while working at TeamKinetic was attending AVM&#8217;s National Conference in London. I got to talk to current and potential customers about what TeamKinetic has to offer &#8211; something that was a totally new experience for me. As someone who&#8217;s only been to London to watch Sheffield United lose at Wembley, it was nice to have a more positive memory to associate with the city!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Come visit our stand at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AVMtweets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AVMtweets<\/a> conference!
