Meeting new people—that’s Annalise’s favourite part of working as an administration trainee at Possability’s Hobart office.
Though she hasn’t been working with the team for long, she’s loving it. “I haven’t done anything like this before,” says Annalise. “It’s my first time working in reception and I’m learning a lot. It’s a very good feeling.”
Annalise has learnt all sorts of reception skills to help keep the office running smoothly, like scanning documents, working with Excel spreadsheets, sending invoices to be paid and how the online ordering system works. She assists with daily COVID-19 cleans to keep the office safe and whips up delicious barista-style coffees for her colleagues—something she enjoys doing.
She says her teammates are incredibly supportive. “I’ve made a lot of friends. It’s not always easy to make friends, but I’ve made some really good friends at Possability.”
“It feels like one big family to me. One big family that changes people’s lives and has helped me grow so much.” While Annalise loves her job and she’s content for now, career progression is certainly on her mind.
“I feel very proud of myself. It’s the best feeling ever.”
