Anonymous asked a question to Alice O.
I seek your guidance on roles matching my background. With 10+ years across banking/finance and IT; specializing in fraud investigation, compliance, customer onboarding, and service.
My core strengths include:
- Risk Mitigation: Investigating fraud patterns, implementing controls, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Process Efficiency: Streamlining customer/due diligence processes (KYC/CDD) while balancing security and experience.
- Stakeholder Management: Resolving complex issues for clients and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
- Technical Aptitude: Comfort with data analysis, IT systems, and fraud-detection tools. I am particularly drawn to First Careers Transport UK due to your role in decarbonising transport, through modal shift from cars to buses and trains. I believe my background could translate well into areas like:
- Compliance & Risk Management (e.g., regulatory adherence, safety/fare evasion controls)
- Fraud Prevention (e.g., ticketing, claims, or internal fraud)
- Customer Operations (e.g., client onboarding, vendor/driver vetting, or service excellence)
- IT/Data Analysis roles supporting security or operational integrity
Could I schedule a brief 15-minute consultation at your convenience to discuss:
1. Potential roles at First Careers Transport that match my profile?
2. How my skills might address current needs in your team(s)?
I am flexible and eager to learn from your insights. Thank you for considering my request—I look forward to your guidance!
Best regards,
Good morning and thank you for reaching out.
It certainly sounds like you hold the necessary skills and experience to meet a variety of our roles. Unfortunately, we do not accept speculative applications, and so it wouldn’t be possible to hold a consultation.
The majority of our current opportunities can be found on our careers site where you can submit an online application to any vacancies that are of interest to you and match your skillset. Avanti West Coast and First Bus have their own individual careers sites and so all current opportunities within their business areas can be found there.
Should you have any questions about a particular role we have advertised, you can contact the respective recruitment team of the business entity the role is for – all of their contact email addresses can be found under the ‘Contact us’ section within our FAQs page.
I wish you well in your search.
