Sarah Arrow — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:00:02 +0000

Pin It Have you always wondered why there is so much diversity when it comes to choosing a career? It seems odd that some people will decide to become construction workers while others want to sit in front of a computer all day or even stand in front of a group of rowdy children and [...]

Lynn Tulip — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:00:51 +0000

Pin It Recruitment is not as easy as you think. If someone leaves or you have overworked employees, a simple solution could be to recruit someone as quickly as possible and to get them in role soonest. Sadly there TWO COMMON MISTAKES in recruitment which leave you open to making disastrous decisions which are both costly [...]

Social Media: socially acceptable – at work?

Lynn Tulip — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 09:00:57 +0000

Pin It For a number of years now most employers would have a robust policy on the use of private email and use of the internet at work. However, with social media now encompassing professional sites like LinkedIn these policies need to be more inclusive and have clear guidelines on what is and what isn’t [...]

Life isn’t fair – an open letter to students

Lynn Tulip — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:00:46 +0000

Pin It The following life and work rules landed in my in-box this morning. I am sure many of you have also received it. Allegedly it’s an extract from Bill Gates as he spoke to school kids. Of course everything he said is true; however I wanted to expand on it. So students, listen up: [...]

A portfolio lifestyle

JaneHatton — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Pin It “A portfolio career” is a term I’ve only recently become familiar with. There are various definitions, but basically it means someone who has a number of different income streams running concurrently.

Racism: is it alive and well in South London?

JackieBarrie — Tue, 31 May 2011 13:00:34 +0000

Pin It Just recently, I’ve had briefing meetings with two new clients. Both happen to be attractive, beautifully groomed women. Both were launching a new business.

Sarah Arrow — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 09:49:03 +0000

Pin It Ok, we’re all in business aren’t we? Let’s have a chat, in confidence… be truthful… would you tell me anything to get the sale? Or anything to get rid of me if you didn’t know the answer to what I had asked? Maybe I am a rare breed of sales person, the kind [...]

The question of employing disabled people – part one

JaneHatton — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 19:00:54 +0000

Pin It This blog is leading to a bit of a plug, it also looks at some important issues around disability and employment generally. There are many stereotypes attached to disabled people (pitiful, heroes, disgusting, monsters, etc.) but the prevailing one at the moment is overwhelmingly “benefit-scrounging scum” – sometimes thought to be single-handedly [...]
