PostsWe have been ripped off - <update - now resolved> :) 2nd June 2011 2:43 PM Wonder whether we could apply same approach to our MPs?  Make sure you are not a victim from hackers. 30th May 2011 5:01 PM Sympathies ... these things make you sadder if not always wiser! tinyurl.com? 15th May 2011 10:06 PM Is the tinyurl thing the same gizmo that sits in WordPress, asking whether you want the page address to be a "short link", plse? It sounds as if it is. CV Review 15th May 2011 10:00 PM If you go through the recruitment agency route, you'll need to take into account keyword searches - if you apply directly to the employer you probably won't. That said, if you're aproaching employers directly and they're large or work in IT it's obviously worth checking with them whether they use keyword searching software when sifting CVs. Ask politely and they'll probably tell you! UK Household income falls to 2005 levels! 13th May 2011 9:17 PM The "fear factor"'s probably had a greater economic impact to date than employed people's income reductions, in my view. I feel "we ain't seen nothing yet". Better get my debit card ready ! 11th May 2011 2:25 PM I'm a little worried about this plan too. I'd understood the term "careless driving" isn't well-defined so can be interpreted differently by different police officers. Many people don't think long term and may make the mistake of preferring to pay an instant fine rather than get a second opinion from the court on whether they had actually committed a driving offence in the first place. CV Review 11th May 2011 2:09 PM My recent blog item (below) fits this thread nicely, hope you don't mind the shameless plug! Writing Your CV - Tips For The Ambitious Events in Leeds 10th May 2011 10:26 PM Suggest you talk to your local Tourism Office for starters, the staff there normally provide news sheets of everything that's going on locally (even the small events). Good luck with the business. CV Review 3rd May 2011 10:44 PM [QUOTE=VirtuallyMary;4415]I suspect that it is of limited business value for their phone adviser to say to anyone "actually, your CV is looking pretty good, you probably don't need our services. Best of luck though." In fact I'll be surprised if they've ever told anyone that their CV wasn't awful.[QUOTE] Being in the CV writing, interview coaching, job search support business myself, I tell people when they've got a good CV which I can only improve marginally, I also offer a limited amount of free advice to help them make it even better. I'm sure I'm not the only practitioner who takes this approach. People remember when you play fair with them so being ethical is actually good for business! |
