My first paid role came from R1i Services as part of Barrick Gold Corporation, you can read more information about it here.

Heading on from my first paid contracting role I was asked to join the operations of R1i during their infancy, during my time within I got to talk to the many other companies they had work with such as Seven West Media, Fortescue Metals Group, Department of Fire & Emergency Services as well as Department of Education to name a few. I learnt much about the main technologies that they sold being HP, Aruba Networking (Wireless) and Blue Coat being able to hold the office while the other team members at the time being both bosses of the Sales team were out on the road.

To put it simply my role was ...

• Quoting IT, Telecommunications and related equipment
• Receiving and giving ETAs for items being shipped in
• Delivering goods to Clients or Distribution Centres
• Formalising and formatting everyday documentation
