Whether you’re managing a team and it’s proving tricky, or, you’re in a team and feel your Manager isn’t working for/listening to you, there are ways to make work-life more harmonious! We aren’t getting on our soap-box here, but too often problems arise in the office through MISS-COMMUNICATION or the complete lack thereof… TALK TO
Winter is beginning to set in, the Christmas marketing push is upon us and thoughts go back to New Years resolutions (those we did not keep). We face the end of the year and wonder what are we doing with our lives? If you feel your career is stalling and your goals are not materialising then it’s
Everyone knows it’s illegal for an employer to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity and national origin. But what about how you sound? From Geordie to Scouse, Cockney to West Country; Britain has a plethora of proud accents, and there has been some discussion lately as to whether an accent can help or hinder your chances of getting
Are things just not happening for you and your job search or career progression? Your CV is as good as it can be, but something is up and you just don’t know why you aren’t getting those interviews or call-backs?

The time in the job interview alone won’t determine your success, there’s more to it than that; like preparation and follow up. Many people think that the interview process is just about the time you’re
Sunday afternoons don’t feel like the weekend anymore; you’re already thinking about Monday at work. Every morning you wish for longer in bed and dread the alarm, because that means work, and every morning miserable because you can’t stand the thought of going to the office to do a job you hate. It’s written all
Self sabotage… We’ve seen it so often. People getting so close to their goals then putting self imposed barriers in the way as to why it can’t be completed or reached. Lots of what ifs and buts…. People spend their lives trying to be accepted by their peers and society. The job, the car, the
