“For me it is a lot of fun to be my own boss. I have already worked with many different tasks within the company; communication, marketing and I have been in leadership groups as Vice President for operations.

“Definitely no spelling mistakes! If the CV is in English, send it for proofreading with someone who really knows English! If there are typos, they end up bottom of the pile,” says Anna.
