Introducing our brand new series, More Than Just a Job: Life at AD Offshore, a collection of interviews with the people that make up our business!
We’re always striving to be as transparent with our customers and clients as possible, so we thought it’d be a great idea to take a look behind the curtain and see what makes AD Offshore tick – the people, the culture and our approach to life across the islands.
This week, we’re sitting down with Evie Finetti, Marketing and Recruitment Administrator at AD Offshore. Let’s dive into her story:
What inspired you to join AD Offshore and how did you first hear about us?
“I had heard from a few different people that the AD Team had greatly helped them with their job search. I first heard from them as my sister knows Alex, and she recommended me to AD for help in starting my career. I was registered with Elly, and she was helping me look for a job. However, it turned out that AD were looking for a Marketing and Recruitment Administrator, so I interviewed for that role and here I am!”
