Two minutes with Melanie…
In this week’s Two Minutes With feature – it’s the turn of Melanie Schilling, our fantastic Administrative Executive. She joined the team back in January 2022 and has become a vital part ever since!
What made you originally apply to work at Creative Resource?
I was made redundant during the pandemic, and with my background in administration, the job at CR sounded just right for me! It helps that I live nearby so I can walk to work every day.
How has the company evolved over the years?
We’re spearheading the next generation of designers and marketers through initiatives like Two+Two and School of Thought, as well as having the most up to date systems for searching candidates. We’re a small but tight knit bunch who are there for one another every day.
What’s next for you and Creative Resource?
We’ve got the next Two+Two coming up in March, which takes a lot of planning, but it’s such a great day and we really enjoy it. Other than that, probably lots of spreadsheets!
What is your favourite thing to do or place to go when you’re not at work?
I love going to music and comedy gigs, and the cinema. I also spend most weekends playing Pokemon Go with my daughter – we’ve been as far afield as Dortmund and Madrid playing the game!
What is the best piece of career advice you’ve ever been given?
‘There’s no such thing as a stupid question. If you need to know something, how is that stupid?”
Describe Creative Resource in 3 words.
Helpful, dedicated, friendly.
