Paige Widdrington is a Business Administrator at Pro-Ad, having recently completed her apprenticeship with We Are Zenith. A year into her role, Paige’s journey is a great example of what happens when the right person is matched with the right opportunity from the very start.

A Recruitment Process Built on Communication and Care

From her very first interactions with the Zenith team, Paige knew she was in good hands. The recruitment process was thorough, supportive, and never left her guessing about what came next.

“My overall experience working with your team during the recruitment process was extremely positive,” Paige reflects. “Communication was clear, timely, and supportive throughout each stage, ensuring I always knew what to expect.”

That care extended beyond simply keeping her informed. Every question Paige raised was met with genuine helpfulness from a team invested in her success.

“The team was highly responsive to any questions I had and provided helpful guidance whenever needed. Everyone I interacted with was professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed.”

Matched with Purpose

Finding the right role isn’t just about filling a vacancy, it’s about understanding a person’s skills, ambitions, and where they want their career to go. For Paige, that understanding was clear from the outset.

“I feel that my skills, experience, and career goals were understood very well throughout the process. The role I was matched with aligned closely with my interests, strengths, and long-term career aspirations.”

No Surprises, Just Honesty

Starting a new role can come with uncertainty, but for Paige, the picture painted during recruitment matched the reality she stepped into.

“The role and company were represented accurately throughout the recruitment process. The information provided about the culture, responsibilities, and expectations matched my experience once I started. Overall, the process was transparent and gave me a clear understanding of what to expect.”

A Year of Growth

Looking back after twelve months in the role, Paige’s apprenticeship has given her far more than a qualification. It’s given her a genuine foundation for her career.

“I would consider the placement a great success for my career,” she says. “It has allowed me to develop valuable skills, gain practical experience, and successfully complete my apprenticeship. The role has helped build my confidence, broaden my knowledge, and provided a strong foundation for my future career development.”

Paige’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when ambition meets the right opportunity, and a reminder of the impact a well-matched apprenticeship can have on a career just getting started.
