Pros
I have been with Navartis for 9 months now, and it is genuinely one of the best career decisions I have ever made. Before joining Navartis, I had no sales experience, no telephone based work experience, and no recruitment background. I came from the hospitality industry, where I had worked for just under 10 years. I started as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant with very little idea of what to expect. From day one, though, you are fully immersed in the training alongside other trainees, which makes the whole process much less daunting. The structure worked perfectly, learning in the mornings and then putting that training into practice during the afternoons on calls. The support within the training bay was second to none. There was always a strong focus on improvement, whether through listening sessions, constructive feedback, or recognition when you handled something well on a call. That constant learning and development made the trainee experience genuinely exciting. It also helped knowing you weren’t alone, especially on those days when it felt like voicemail after voicemail. What people say is true: you get out what you put in. Eventually, things started to click. The interviews, the jobs, the setbacks, and the rejections all became part of the process. Then I finally secured my first placement, and it was one of the best feelings ever. You work incredibly hard to get deals over the line, and seeing that first one complete made it all worthwhile.
Cons
I wished I just fully jumped into the phone calls and didn't stress or deep it as much as I did.
