A Day In The Life Of: Andrea Tantrum

It’s 6:29am in the morning.

Not a peep from the Tantrum household, birds are hooting, the wind is blowing.

It’s very peaceful – RING RING RING

Oh, time for Andrea, our Business Development Manager, and one of our Trustees, to wake up!

Time for a lovely shower. Scrub a dub dub, Andrea’s in the tub.

Meanwhile, the cat is meowing at the top of its lungs at the back door. MEOW…MEOW.

The cat wants out…then back in…then back out…then back in…and maybe out again…oh and then in again – But it doesn’t know that it’s medication time!

Breakfast time. Cereal is the go to, plus 2 coffees. Caffeine free, otherwise Andrea would be bouncing off the walls!

Whilst munching on Special K, she’ll whack the news on, and also check those emails.

7:45am. She’ll get logging on to our server, ready for the day ahead.

She starts by looking into the daily schedule for any upcoming meetings with clients, new or potential ones.

As Andrea works from home, a lot of these will be over teams, but sometimes duty calls for an in person meeting.

Andrea is always visiting clients. Either going solo, or accompanying one of our Recruitment Consultants.

In between meetings, she will make sure to catch up with all branches that she may have outstanding projects with, along with chatting to marketing about ideas, strategies, or booking video content. She loves us (she said this).

Lunch time!

Always a sandwich, (and always a tuna sandwich, along with some Pom Bears, and 2 more coffees.

She will make sure to check up on our social media, looking up what has been kicking off on our pages.

Andrea will always make sure to spend some time outside the house, therefore, she will go on a nice walk to think and ponder…about sales more than likely.

Once lunch is over, she will catch up with fellow co-worker in our Commercial and Permanent department, Grace, to discuss any current perm roles, and future ones coming up.

If no meetings or important appointments are on the schedule for the afternoon, Andrea will go out door knocking, or canvas calling all afternoon. Always selling. SELL SELL SELL!

Now it’s coming to the end of the day, she will spend her final hour reading up on the daily branch reports, catching up with the day’s emails, and responding to said emails.

Andrea is also currently taking a mental health awareness course, to be a mental health first aid trainer in the workplace.

Sky news goes straight on. She is a massive fan. Loves it.

To be fair, it was probably on the TV anyway throughout the day.

Andrea has a huge love for current affairs, and all the official gossip that is happening around the world.

Andrea will cook herself dinner every night, although she said that she is a terrible cook.

Luckily, her son is a trained chef, so has been giving her lots of tips in the kitchen!

Signature dishes if you pop round to Andrea’s will be; Chicken dinner, Lamb casseroles, and Katsu burgers. Bit out of left field from chicken and lamb dinners, but still, sounds scrumptious!

Speaking of her son, she will have a good catch up with him almost every night.

And it doesn’t just stop there, she will also have a good catch up with the gals.

She loves a good garden centre!

Now it is coming to that time, Andrea is very very happy.

As it means she can start watching Christmas movies and it won’t be deemed weird.

If she could watch them all year round, she would happily do so.

Do what you want Andrea! Don’t let society tell you it’s too early…but it is though.

Bed at 11:30pm. Jim jams on, radio on. Time for sleep.

The radio will always be on to get Andrea ready for bed. Even to the last second of the day, she is always about those current affairs!

Goodnight Andrea!
