Who starts a new job during a pandemic?!The good thingsI commenced employment with EBM on 6 April 2020, when WA was in lockdown/under COVID restrictions. I had a PC couriered to my house and learned the job remotely for 2 months, and was blown away by both the staff member who trained me, and the systems in place to support such learning. When I joined the office in June, I received a warm welcome and have been made to feel part of a strong, close-knit team.
The challengesReturning to an office environment after working from home for 2 months was difficult, but obviously this would have been the case with any employer. I would love to see further WFH opportunities in the future. Otherwise, no real challenges, mostly a positive experience overall.
