Continuing with our Meet the Team series, introducing Valarie McNulty, the Manager of the Office Support Division at Abrivia! Every month, we feature a colleague for a fun interview, so let’s learn more about Valerie!
1. Imagine you step outside the office and find a lottery ticket that ends up winning €10 million. What would you do?
Do my best to reunite the winning ticket with its owner, I am a firm believer in karma.
2. What do you like to do during your free time?
Walking/hiking, playing tennis and spending time with family.
3. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Beside the ocean.
4. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?
Every Easter we organise an Easter Egg Hunt for my nieces and nephews, while explaining the rules to try keep order among the eager little ones, I noticed through the window in the background, my 4-year-old nephew had sneaked out to get a head start and was 4 eggs in before anyone else noticed.
5. What is your favourite food/meal?
Tapas, I lived in Spain for a few years and enjoyed sampling the small, favoured bites with a nice glass of wine and good company.
6. How do you think people would describe you?
Loyal, fun-loving, calm under pressure.
7. If you were stuck on a deserted island, what three things would you have?
Sunblock, water, and a boat
8. What’s the most interesting holiday you have ever had?
I would have to say Iceland, I visited last year with my sisters, and we had a great time. It has stunning scenery and we got to see the Northern Lights which was on the bucket list.
9. What are some pet peeves you have?
Mmm there are a few, but the one that really sticks out is when people park in wheelchair designated parking areas that should not.
10. What’s the most embarrassing moment you had in recruitment?
Nothing I could put down here, but life in recruitment can most definitely present some interesting scenarios.
