Andrew B-S – Webmaster Nerdy Num Num & Technical Advisor
Why do you think that White Now loves having you as a team member ?
Being as nerdy as I am and White Now being such a well known website, they need my nerdy webmaster skills – they couldn’t do without me !
What is the best thing about being part of the White Now team ?
I love everything – it is such a relaxing environment and the boss really cares about making sure we are happy.
If you were given an open plane ticket for anywhere in the world, where would you go and why ?
I am a skydiver and have racked up around 1500 jumps so I would probably have a round the world ticket with 50 or 60 stops and jump in all the most scenic places in the world.
What do you love doing in the time that you’re not at work ?
Being a true nerd, I love my sci-fi movies and have been known to spend the day watching The Lord of The Rings Trilogy in my own home theatre – that is 12+ hours (including required breaks) !
Do you have a mentor and if so, what do you see in that person that makes them your mentor ?
Shall I say Bill Gates ? No, I am not that nerdy. I love the core values set by the founders of companies such as Google and Virgin, so I guess I watch what they are up to.
If you could not have your current job, what
other job would you love to have ?
I am analytical by nature and love problem solving and there are many jobs that would suit. If the truth be known, I would love to be a full time Dad and look after my little boy for a living. He is simply adorabubble ! |

Prue – Wordsmith Extraordinaire
Why do you think that White Now loves having you as a team member ?

What is the best thing about being part of the White Now team ?
The independence, variety and camaraderie – we make an art of swapping witty one-liners !

I like to be immersed in the deep blue sea as much as possible – summer, winter, rain or shine.

Amy Waight – Fun ‘Out There’ Creator of Pictures and Stuff
Why do you think that White Now loves having you as a team member ?
Because I'm flexible, love a challenge ... and have lots of patience ??!!!
What is the best thing about being part of the White Now team ?
Knowing you're part of a company that actually cares about its clients and patrons, offering superiority on all levels - and it's a real kick to see your work up on show for millions of visitors !
If you were given an open plane ticket for anywhere in the world, where would you go and why ?
Despite never having been on a plane, I'd love to visit Europe - delve into a different culture, be blown away by the history and generally broaden my view on the world !
What do you love doing in the time that you’re not at work ?
I currently work three
jobs, so spare time = work time. "Time out" on the other
hand is spent on shopping, music, a bit of tv and friends
!
Do you have a mentor and if so, what do you see in that person that makes them your mentor ?
I have a few key 'mentors' - they're real, extremely hard working business women who I admire for their passion in their fields, their commitment to their businesses, and the drive that keeps them going every day in addition to the demands of family life.
If you could not have your current job, what
other job would you love to have ?
A teacher once told my
Mum at a parent-teacher interview that I seemed to only focus
on "the fluff" when it came to assignments - I spent more time making it look pretty than working on the content ! Funny how things turn out ... I fell into design work by accident ! It's created opportunities in photography and styling, landed me a job in media and has created my own business simply to cater for my own need to "make things look pretty" !
I love this too much to worry about doing anything else ! |
