Sam Burman - Manager
True to form of a typical student I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to do after leaving the secure bubble that is public education. As it turns out, I fell into sales when I secured an Account Manager position at BT Openreach. This is where my taste for sales began and 18 months later I was approached by Michael Page to join the Technology division, an opportunity which I grabbed with both hands.
Since joining in May 2008, my areas of specialism have remained consistent - Permanent recruitment within Industry and Commerce. My core focus is on Business Technology and Infrastructure positions ranging from entry level through to Senior Management.
I am a huge advocate of the ‘Michael Page way’ as your progression is based entirely on merit, as opposed to length of service. I have recently experienced this having been promoted to Managing Consultant in April 2011 and then to Manager in September 2011. Next on my list of achievements will be promotion to Associate Director. On par with the meritocratic structure is without doubt the culture. The vested interest that the management team have in an individual’s career is fantastic and when accompanied with the camaraderie, it makes for an unparalleled working environment.
Outside of the office, I am huge fan of hunting the best off-piste snowboarding that Europe or the US has to offer; trialling as many weird & wonderful restaurants as possible and attempting to emulate Arnold ‘the Austrian Oak’ Schwarzenegger in the gym.
