Name: Reene Chauhan
Role: European Resourcing Co-ordinator at Diageo
1. What is your current job and what are the best and most challenging parts of it?
I’m currently on secondment (from a Global Systems Analyst role) to our HR function – Resourcing for England. The best part is meeting a wide variety of diverse applicants and seeing their different motives for changing direction. The most challenging part is compliance when there is a pressing need for speed!
2. What got you into technology, science or engineering? And who inspires you in these fields?
I’ve always been deeply interested in connections and relationships. My real interest in how technology could be used to enhance links was sparked at an Internet class I took whilst studying at an American high school. Every kid had their own laptop and we surfed for an hour a week – wild for 1996! Ah, inspirations – technology – the plethora of social networking that is growing ever-stronger, science – my very misunderstood teachers, and a previous employer, don’t know many engineers. Architects inspire me too.
3. What advice would you give to any young person looking to get into your field?
Don’t be afraid to take calculated risks. If something doesn’t work out, try something else. Persist. Enjoy yourself. This applies to most “fields”. Talk to people. Investigate. Be clear about your goals and focus your energies on reaching them. Get to know yourself.
