"These personality types as spookily on point. I matched as an \"Influencer, Manager and Quality Controller\", all of which are the strengths I draw on to be successful in role. Interesting to note the absent personality match of a \"Developer\" aka my current role, and perhaps that intuitively relates to my future career plan!"

"My typical day involves developing and testing automation code that will allow a virtual robot to replicate the actions of a colleague. There is a lot of trial and error in the early days, and with more experience my developing is getting closer to right first time. I love to see my robot working in action without errors - that's a real boost. To make sure that the code is on point, I work closely with the Operation and regularly engage them with regards to changes that may need to be made as identified by Quality Control. There's future opportunity assessments, where I utilise my data analysis skills to understand have 'we' identified the next viable proposition to be automated. I also enjoy engaging with contacts across the Group for project information and has a little time too for personal development such as studying for my RPA accreditation."

"I've always had a passion with maths and regret not following a mathematical path through my A-levels and to university. I've worked for my employer for 17 years, and it took about 10 of those to embrace my instinct for logic and data. From there, I started as a Data Administrator, progressed to Business Analyst, side stepped into Quality Assurance before taking a leap into Robotics. I love every minute of this role and over the last 5 years I've seen significant career changes to get to now. They were all scary and worth it!"

"My spare time is so varied! From socialising with friends to home making with my family. I often feel that down time is limited so relishes quality \"me time\" with a book - I'm currently reading \"The Elephant in the Office\"."

"I create code to programme virtual robots to follow a series of commands that will ultimately automate basic and repetitive tasks."

"I have a full suite of GCSEs, 3 A Levels and 1 AS Level though none are computing related. I also have a CeMAP qualification to give Mortgage Advice. For my current role, I received training from her employer and will shortly be sitting an Accreditation relating to RPA developing."
