Finding the Right Company to Work For?

1st November 2019 | Job HuntingMotivational

In a candidate-driven market, YOU are in the driving seat! Increased competition means that clients are having to up their game in order to attract the best candidates in the market. So how do you ensure that you are finding the right company for you? Research the company – start on their website; clients often have an ‘about us’ section which explains more about the organization, how they were set-up and what their ethos and values are. This gives you the chance to really understand...

1st October 2019 | Job HuntingMotivational

  If you’ve been following the news, then you’ll have found it difficult to avoid the topic of redundancies recently.

14th August 2019 | Career AdviceJob HuntingMotivational

“What would you like to be when you grow up?” ...is the question we heard so many times during our childhood. At only five years old, we had no idea that this would turn into an insoluble dilemma of adolescence! We all had a career we wanted to pursue, whether we wanted to be a superhero, an astronaut, a firefighter, a scientist, a professional footballer or a veterinarian… If you are a recent College or University graduate, you may still be trying to answer this million dollar...

International Women’s Day 2019

8th March 2019 | Career AdviceMotivational

 A bit of history…   International Women’s Day takes place on the 8th March yearly and is widely observed for its importance in history as a day of anti-sexism and anti-discrimination. In many places around the world, the day is treated as a day of protest, but for others it is a celebration of womanhood and the equal rights breakthrough of the 20th century.   Soviet Russia became the first country in 1917 to announce March 8th as a national holiday following...
