We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Arin Ayan, son of Murat Ayan, Allocations Supervisor C&I, to complete his year 10 work experience at BINGO.
Our talent acquisition team is always looking to promote BINGO as a preferred workplace so we can attract new GOgetters needed to operate our business, and in particular people for trade roles through apprenticeship programs and internships, as well as undergraduates.
“My goal is for young adolescents to recognise BINGO as an employer of choice and the exciting opportunities that lie within our multi operational and complex business,” said Gina Bahri, Head of Talent Acquisition.
“We want to showcase the different career pathways BINGO can offer, and we are always on the lookout for people who can help us push for a waste free Australia. I am looking for BINGO’s future leaders!”
We caught up with Arin to learn more about his experience at BINGO.
What are your first impressions of BINGO?
My very first impressions were that in the office at BINGO, everyone has great communication and listening skills. There’s a lot of talking at the same time and it can get pretty loud at times. But through that noise, everyone is still able to communicate with each other and be understood. Also, a key observation I made is that everyone is great at concentrating, focusing and blocking out unwanted noise when no one is talking to them. Overall, in the office, I observed great teamwork amongst everyone.
What has been your highlight so far?
My highlight so far at BINGO is seeing each department. The departments that I've been to are the Commercial & Sales Support Team, Key Accounts Support Team, Allocations Team and the Call Centre. I also spent time with Allocations Supervisor C&I NSW Murat Ayan, and it has been an experience which I won't get again. Another highlight was that I was able to allocate and book jobs, listen to calls that come in at the call centre and order new bin assemblies, experiencing allocations and how they get their bins to site on time and servicing bins. These different types of jobs are all linked together, and it’s interesting to see how every job in the office plays a part in delivering services to customers, by working together.

What are you hoping to get out of your experience?
I am hoping to get a real good sense of how everyone works in unison and learn how to write a professional email. By this I mean that teamwork and collaboration is very important in workplaces and these skills I can use in school, at home and most importantly, work areas. Emailing is a big part of our everyday life and it's an important tool to keep jobs flowing. By learning how to write professional emails, I’m able to have an important life skill and communicate to customers in a professional manner.
Does this experience relate to any current or future studies you’d like to undertake?
This work experience will not relate to any current or future studies but there are learnings that I take away from this experience such as having the skills to write a professional email, greater communication skills with colleagues and customers, understanding problems that occur and working with it in a calm manner and understanding team collaboration better.
