Like many other 25s in her situation, Dhruti’s previous challenges with getting a job were her lack of experience, lack of confidence and also the recession.  She decided to take the job at Anderson Brown Ltd as she felt it was a good opportunity to gain valuable skills.

Her current duties include managing the social media platforms, assisting with events, administration, marketing and website development.  She hopes to build up her skills and experience and also wishes to gain confidence in a working atmosphere.
