"As a qualified lawyer, I realized before long that legal practice was not suited for me and that the next logical step was to find something that truly interested me.

Still, it never did occur to me that I would pursue a career in the Search Consulting industry. What I did know was that I enjoyed meeting new people and had a passion for interacting with individuals from diverse background and cultures.

So when the opportunity came, I jumped on the offer from the Recruit Legal Group. Recruit Legal's corporate philosophy matched my own: work in a professional manner, with integrity and trust, and always apply the critical "human touch" in the working relationships with both clients and candidates. To me, this was a breath of fresh air in a profession - the legal profession - where most people conduct themselves far more formally.

Joining Recruit Legal was a turning point for me. With its rapid regional growth and expansion, it allowed me a further opportunity to work on regional deals with a focus on China, the key "hot" market of the 21st century.

This is how I would sum up my experience: challenging, rewarding, fun and satisfying - all rolled into one. "Boring" it has certainly not been!"
