Every little helps, and this certainly does…
Twitter really is a wonderful idea, and whilst I am slightly sceptical on its ability to add any ‘real’ value to my professional life I have enough scepticism to at least carry on using it! I received a ‘Tweet’ today via Peter Gold of Hire Strategies announcing that Tesco have recently launched their new Career [...]
The Jobs Budget
I find my blog becoming more and more political as each story enters the news. Today is no different, but what is interesting here, is this could well be the most important budget any Government of any generation could try and unveil. Alistair Darling (what a surname) will later this week do one of two [...]
I’d do Anything (for work), but I won’t do that…
Only last week I was sat in a meeting with a person that was in search for guidance on how to get back into a job. I agree that she had done a great deal of the normal options open to her, it’s a story I’ve heard a million times (well, maybe not a million…but [...]

(For those who never had the privilege, you can watch it here: http://tinyurl.com/am7bse) He told one woman that she should write on her [...]
What next, the homeless to Foxtons?
Today is a tricky blog entry that follows on from my blog on Friday. I find myself sitting on the negative side of the fence. You see, it all started on Sunday afternoon. I’ll paint the picture for you; in fact, I might even put a picture on. Take a lovely spring day, a beautiful [...]
