    Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 by Anaum Farooq — 133 comments

    Hi, my name is Anaum Farooq. I am from east London and I’m in year 10. I recently spent an interesting two weeks at makepositive for my work experience placement. Honestly speaking, before I started, I was absolutely clueless about the company. I had no idea what they did and what Salesforce was but I saw this as an opportunity to acquire skills I may have not necessarily have had before. It was ...

    Posted on Thursday, March 8, 2018 by Nadio Granata — No comments

    When makepositive re-launched the website last year, some of the leadership team were asked to consider who, for them, was the most inspirational leader and why.  Of the eight responses, only one names a female leader (although admittedly a humdinger, Anita Roddick). It got me thinking about how I’d answer. I’ve finally settled on my old headmistress.  It sounds kind of strange, that an adult ...

There are so many ...

  • My Journey from India to makepositive London

    Posted on Friday, September 15, 2017 by Abhilasha Dhamija — No comments

    My makepositive journey has been extraordinary. I started off as a Technical Associate almost four years ago in Gurgaon (India) with only a vague idea of what I wanted to do with my career in Salesforce. Shortly afterward, I became a part of the Managed Services team, which, on reflection, was a significant turning point in my career. I’ve worked as a Technical Consultant in Managed Services ...
