Careers@CVEA: Careers Insight Talk: Finance and Accountancy (Department for Education)

This week's talk was delivered by Jamie Bell who is a Deputy Finance Director at the DFE.

During the talk, we learnt about the essential skills which Jamie uses within her role but which are also extremely important in any career. We discussed the difference between listening and active listening. We also talked about positivity and resilience and how we can demonstrate and develop these skills.

Within Jamie's job role she is responsible for a number of staff.

She talked about the 5 Cs of a good leader being: Curious, Collaborative, Courageous, Credible and Confident.

A very informative session.
