Quick-fire questions with Ashley
What's a technology that gives you the most joy to use?
I looove my Kobo e-reader! I can read all the library books I want without having to go to the library!
If you could share a meal with anyone in history. Who would it be and why?
I think I have to put Taylor Swift for this one. Because, duh, it's Taylor Swift.
What's an industry you would love to learn more about?
I'm a massive concert enthusiast, so I'd love to learn more about everything that goes on behind the scenes. The whole production of a concert just amazes me every time. It's such an epic experience!
It’s a sunny day, you have no plans for the next 12 hours... Where do you go and what
do you do?
Sleep in (till like 8am) and then go for a hike (in the bush or with views of the sea), get brunch, then go to the beach and read for the afternoon. For dinner, I'd go somewhere Italian for pasta! Then curl up with my cat, Greg, and watch reality TV (while crocheting).
What do you think is the most important skill for interviewing?
I'm not a recruiter, but I'd say be yourself! I'm a big believer in bringing your whole self to work.
