"I came to Farmers from a hotel background. I actually joined Farmers as a Christmas Casual, and when I started working here I realised there were lots of parallels to hotels. I felt that I could find the same variety in Farmers that I had actually enjoyed working in hotels. Not only do I spend time on the sales floor, I have a hand in a little part of sales and marketing, I get to do financial analysis and human resources. So, it's that challenge of the variety that I had enjoyed in hotels that I actually didn't think I would find anywhere else but I have found at Farmers."

"I used to be a chef for 10 years. I really enjoyed it, but it was time for something different once I had a family and realised the hours weren't that great for raising a family. Now I'm a Cosmetician. I really enjoy being a Cosmetician. I used to be creative with food, and now I'm creative with makeup."

"I was working in the airline industry for 12 years before transferring to retail. Obviously you're not selling items that you can physically see in travel, but you're still selling people a dream and the same thing with furniture, people like to picture it in their home."

"When I needed a new career challenge, I decided to look at all the aspects of my job as a Beauty Therapist that I love – customer service, product presentation and an exciting team environment. I wanted a new challenge, and working at Farmers has given me this, and challenges me every day and has from day one. Now I am training to be a Manager and have been constantly surprised at the amount of support and education I am receiving from the team at Farmers. Best of all I get to combine all the things I love with the constant enjoyment of being challenged every day."
